Dan Lines
Over the past decade I went from developer to VP of Engineering at Cloudlock (acquired by Cisco), and now I’m the co-founder and COO at LinearB. I’m obsessed with how dev teams work together. Like what makes great culture? And how can engineering leaders be data-driven without being performance tyrants? More importantly, my partner Lauren and I just had a beautiful baby girl named Leila. We recently moved to sunny Southern California which is a welcome change for this suburban boy from up-state New York.
What the top 10% of dev teams look like in 2023
These key engineering metrics help separate the truly elite software development teams from the rest.
How elite companies have empowered remote teams
Enough time has passed now for some key lessons to be learned about empowering remote engineering teams to do their best work. Here, we asked the best in the business how they did it.
Why elite dev teams focus on pull-request metrics
Pull request size massively impacts cycle time and development workflow – small PRs and low rework rates boost efficiency, stability, and lower overall risk.
How business alignment works in high-performing engineering teams
Business alignment is a crucial factor of organizational success and planning accuracy is the way to achieve it.
The workflow metrics that make elite dev teams
DORA metrics aren’t enough on their own. By focusing on pull request size, dev teams can quickly improve their cycle times and development workflow and make the leap to elite performance.
