I work for large tech company, not FAANG.
> Have you noticed faster pace of development?
Yes, and it terrifies me.
> Have you seen changes to code quality or code review?
Yes, because of the volume of PRs, I am sure some people are just approving changes with a quick glance
> Do teammates that use these tools complete sprint tasks faster than those who don't?
Best engineers got better
What terrifies me more like cultural thing:
1. Engineers who push a lot of code are trying to get promoted faster so they won't feel the pain
2. Engineers who genuinely care and trying to land high quality work are getting labeled as "progress blockers" and getting negative outlook, because they won't be promoted, they need to support the slop added by other engineers. And I don't like this state of the culture.
Also engineers who want to get promoted quickly, usually they are very good at talking and can present a tiny skill template as something huge developed over 2 quarters of experience with latest and greatest, while people who actually do the work are more silent and heads down executing, I want them to be promoted but can't impact a lot of things
- softwaredoug 8mo agoThis reminds me of the pendulum that swings between every company I've worked at For a time, its all about shipping faster. And rushing things out. Then there's a major bug/incident/unhappy customer, and management swings back to code quality
