I work at a big public company that isn’t a tech company but is trying to do tech things. The Engineering Productivity metrics Gitlab publishes helped us build something similar and justified some pretty large and much needed actions due to the problems the metrics exposed. Really cool they publish stuff like this.
- echelon 4y agoMore and more I see non-tech companies doing tech things. I think the era of "tech eating the world" meaning "tech puts you out of business" is almost over. Lots of traditional companies got the memo and now have competent engineering leadership. I'm not saying this is an end of "innovator's dilemma", just that the internet and having software engineers as a part of your org aren't it anymore.
- mistrial9 4y ago" Lots of traditional companies" here in California and USA got the outsourcing memo, for the last two decades. Cheerful "it's getting better" does not pay bills for people who build things. Executive management coasting and stalling for years, while on-commission intermediaries are more than happy to bring hapless workers for low, low wages.
