Heads up fam: I'm not speaking much this year to focus on my new role and new team.
When I do, I am only accepting invitations to participate in events that feature Black voices.
I'm hiring a Data Scientist! You'll define the analytical strategy for how Gemini & agentic capabilities are transforming software eng-at Google scale. You'll pioneer new methods, surface insights, & help shape how we understand AI-driven development

@Chase please figure out your app auth/verification - when it fails and you offer no other option, we get stuck. (Please also offer an option to email so I don't have to tweet.)
AI broke our developer productivity metrics.
Lines of code? Meaningless
Commits? Not the point
Velocity? Can be misleading
We need new frameworks for measuring DevEx in the age of AI.
Chapter 59 of Frictionless (w/ @abinoda) walks through exactly this: amazon.com/Frictionless-Remo…

Tech books can be hit or miss. Especially nowadays when thinking changes so quickly.
But @martinfowler provides some high praise for "Frictionless", the intriguing new book from @abinoda and @nicolefv.

Congrats @nicolefv on your new book!
What a value prop: "A step-by-step guide for improving developer experience in both traditional and AI-native workflows - from making the business case to measuring what matters to actually implementing change. Includes 100 pages of free workbooks."
Order here: amazon.com/Frictionless-Remo…
🎧 New episode with Nicole Forsgren (@nicolefv) — the person who literally wrote the book on measuring developer productivity.
She created DORA and SPACE (the most used eng productivity frameworks), wrote Accelerate, and is about to release her newest book, Frictionless.
Her take: AI accelerates coding, but developers aren't getting that much more done.
We discuss why, plus:
🔸 How AI is changing developer productivity
🔸 How to best measure dev productivity in 2025
🔸 Signs that your engineering team could be moving faster
🔸 AI’s impact on engineers getting into “flow” states
🔸 Her framework for building and scaling a developer experience team
🔸 The three components of developer experience: flow state, cognitive load, and feedback loops
🔸 Much more

If you haven't heard this yet, it is well worth your time. @nicolefv has had a HUGE influence on our industry and spoke brilliantly on her work.
Listen on the go, or wherever you feel comfortable. But it is certainly a must-listen for modern software engineers.

Apparently it’s fine to just give yourself a title (which may or may not be wildly inflated, sure, why not)…
What should my new job title be?
