What Engineers and Developers Really Do All Day
- 1. What Engineers & Developers Do All Day Really And why it’s a really big deal
- 2. *Design prototype by Stephen Allport most people think engineers spend all of their time cool stuff creating
- 3. Wrong!!X
- 4. building products full of awesome doesn’t happen like this
- 5. we have to find and fix 100 per 1,000 lines of code product bugs (that’s a lot)
- 6. 15 bugs per 1,000 lines of code make it to customers (that’s bad)
- 7. it takes 30x longer to fix one bug than to write one line of code
- 8. we spend 75% of our time debugging our own (and our teammates’) designs
- 10. not creating cool stuff but solving problemshard problems
- 11. that means 75% of your engineering to fixing bugs team salary goes
- 12. add up 75% of all product engineering salaries in the US plus the cost of their debug tools
- 13. $113 billion identifying & correcting product defects in the US, is spent every year
- 14. let’s put $113 billioninto context
- 15. with $113 billion, you could end world hunger $30B and buy $30B $10B $4B $4B $4B $4B $3.3B $2.5B $2B $2B and still have $17B left
- 16. if there were ways to debug faster, more of that $113 billion could go toward making new, cool stuff
- 17. every year our products get smarter, more connected, more complex
- 18. more complex is a nice way of saying “has a lot more bugs to fix before it ships”
- 19. if we can’t fix all of the bugs on time, schedules slip and our products are late-to-market
- 20. shipping your product late costs you a lotof money https://www.initialstate.com/LateCalc here’s a calculator to show you how much
- 21. #1 cause for schedule slips? too many bugs, too little time
- 22. forcing us to work weekends and overtime won’t fix this productivity plunges
- 23. when you ask us to do the impossible(which you inevitably will)
- 24. here are five tips if you want to have any chance of success
- 25. we need multiple hours of uninterrupted time preferably in 4-hour blocks 1
- 26. putting us in a bunch of meetings is a great way for us to get nothing done 2
- 27. give us the freedom to be awesome don't micromanage 3
- 28. buy us the tools we need you don’t mow a lawn with a pair of scissors 4
- 29. give us an awesome place to work we spend a lot of time here, we should love it 5
