In the fast-paced world of software development, productivity is key. Not to churn out code faster, but to add more value to your team, your company, and most importantly, to yourself.

In my talk, I would like to focus on these three aspects and share tips, tricks, and insights i have garnered over 7 years of working in Data Science and Tech. I realise I might not know everything that relates to a developer, that is why i enlist the help of The State of Developer Ecosystem 2023 Survey. Where over 35000 responses were submitted over 196 countries. This helped me cater my responses to what most developers according to this survey are saying about their Work, Lifestyle, and Mental Health.

Besides adding value, we need to make sure we arent overwhelming ourselves in the process. That is why in my talk I would also discuss some unusual topics about why do we need to be so productive, do we need to even code and build side projects on our time off.

This holistic approach would help developers focus on whats important to them, teams building a system that helps developers thrive, and companies by increasing the value they get out of these developers.
