Back to Basics: Increase DevEx in the Age of AI with Laura Tacho

PurePerformance

Don't get stuck using AI to build faster horses. Instead, find the opportunities and rethink your software delivery processes! That, and only that, will help you increase Developer Experience and Efficiency!
This episode is all about how to measure and improve DevEx in the age of Artificial Intelligence. And with Laura Tacho, CTO at DX, we think we found a perfect guest!
Laura has been working in the dev tooling space for the past 15 years. In her current role at DX she is working on the evolution of DORA and SPACE into DX Core 4 and the DXI Measurement Framework.
In our episode we learn about those frameworks but also how tech leaders need to rethink where and how to apply AI to improve overall efficiency, quality and effectiveness!
The key takeaways from this conversation are

• DevEx is all about the identifying and reducing friction in the end-2-end development process
• Tech Leaders need to become better in articulating technical change requirements to business
• As of today only 22% of code in git is really AI generated. Don't get fooled into believing AI is already better
• Back to Basics makes companies successful with AI. That is: proper CI/CD, testing, documentation, observability!
