Developer Happiness and Why it Matters
Do you know what makes developers happy? More importantly, does it really matter? Developer happiness and productivity are intimately linked, but it takes more than the occasional pizza lunch to make developers happy.
Let's look at how we can improve developer lives and why we should. Whether you're an engineer yourself, manage a team, or run a company, it should be a core goal to reduce friction, make developers happier, more productive, and more likely to stay in their current jobs.
