Developer Productivity Engineering – The Next Big Thing in Software Development
summary
Claims that developer productivity engineering can improve dev efficiency up to 10x and returns measurable engineering days by shaving build minutes into seconds, backed by a 92% survey response citing slow local build/test cycles and 81% reporting higher job satisfaction. Concrete tools and results: build caching (remote and local caches), predictive test selection using gradient‑boosted ML to skip irrelevant tests, test distribution to parallelize execution, build scans and flaky‑test detection. Netflix example: Android build drops from 64 minutes to under 5.
