Something about the DX Core 4 has been quietly bugging me… More specifically, about the “Quality” category and how something about it just doesn’t sit right. And the curious thing is, it’s not wrong...

The DORA Community provides opportunities to learn, discuss, and collaborate on software delivery and operational performance. Enabling a culture of continuous improvement.

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!

"How do you measure the impact you have with your platform engineering initiative?" is a question you should be able to answer. To show improvement you must first need to know what the status quo is. And this is where frameworks such as DX Core 4 come in. Never heard about it? Then tune into this episode where we have Dušan Katona, Sr Director of Platform Engineering at Ataccama, who is a big fan of the DX Core Four Metrics and who has just applied it in his current role to optimize developer experience. Dušan explains the details behind those 4 Core metrics: Speed, Effectiveness, Quality and Impact. He also shares how improving those metrics by a single point results in the equivalent of 10 hours saved per developer per year.
