Exploring The DNA Of Successful Developer Teams
On September 22nd, Heavybit Member company CircleCI held their monthly office hours event at our San Francisco Clubhouse. Travis Vachon, a developer at CircleCI, gave a talk titled ‘Exploring The DNA Of Successful Developer Teams’.
CircleCI works with 20k+ organizations and 80k+ developers. They work daily with developer teams (and they are one, to-boot) so they have seen first-hand what the best teams do to drive success at places like Kickstarter, Facebook and GoPro. This talk explores the DNA of what makes successful developer teams – from the basics of trust and control to the more abstract of team organization, tools and productivity.
