A developer and a platform engineer walk into a bar. What follows is a deep discussion: During the developer platform hype, are we losing sight of what is really important? What is developer productivity, how can we measure it, and how can we improve it without boiling the ocean?

Actually, it is all about improving developer productivity, and that is important for a single developer, or a company with tens of thousands of IT professionals. It also means that the tools, services and artefacts needed to boost productivity can be widely different, and there is no default solution.
In this talk, we will discuss the latest research on how you can measure and improve Developer Productivity. Then, we will look at actual tools and methods that make you more productive as an individual, a team or a whole company.
