I think, this underestimates that most devs hate boredom. The will leave your company rather quickly, if you can't give them interesting tasks once in a while.

- slaw3 4y agoIf it’s boring enough, do you need devs?
- hrunt 4y agoI think the presentation covers this fairly well. Give devs interesting work by having them solve interesting problems. If the technology stack is the "interesting problem" then you are wasting this developer excitement on something less valuable than higher-level business problems. Go up the stack, get devs excited to work on those higher-level problems, and spend less of that expensive dev time on high-risk software that has questionable impact on those higher-level problems.
- aliswe 4y agoExactly, the stack and infrastructure should be fairly boring - and - above all unsurprising. The exciting stuff should be in the actual application.
