Dev Productivity

Definitions

1. The effectiveness and efficiency with which developers can build, test, review, and ship software. In culture discussions dev productivity is about much more than typing speed; it includes tooling, clarity, interruption load, and cognitive friction.

   In plain English: How effectively developers can get useful work done.

   Example: "The platform team's roadmap focused on dev productivity because reducing slow tests and flaky environments freed more real output than another motivation speech ever could."
