In this episode of Leaders of Code, Dan Lines, cofounder and COO of LinearB; Ben Matthews, Senior Director of Engineering at Stack Overflow; and host Ben Popper talk about why velocity should be a diagnostic tool, not the primary goal of engineering teams. They also touch on the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration to align engineering with business objectives.
They also discuss:
- AI's potential to automate repetitive tasks, allowing engineers to focus on more complex work.
- The challenges of scaling organizations and the importance of centralized developer experience teams to improve productivity.
- How non-technical staff can contribute to engineering tasks through the democratization of technology, enabling more innovation.
