🔗 Level up your developer experience: five practical strategies for engineering teams

A developer tasked with integrating, say, an API from service A into service B can easily spend days simply searching for the API contract, gaining access and then finding an appropriate test environment. If you've been in this situation you'll probably know all too well that the process can often involve frustrating redirections through multiple colleagues and access approvals. Sometimes a week (or more) can pass with minimal progress on actual development.

Scenarios like this are all too familiar in large organizations. Research in recent years has shown that developer productivity is invariably negatively impacted by technical debt, inefficient tools, poorly structured information and waiting for approvals. These issues are commonly found in large organizations and emphasize the importance of enhancing developer experience (DX).
