Of course, it hasn't been easy going for engineering leaders either. That's why Nick, the VP of Engineering and Head of Product at Kyte, sat down with us to discuss how to build an engineering culture with a bias toward action, why he deleted his team's staging environment, and what it takes to outmaneuver his former employer, Uber.

What is it like to work in engineering at Zayo? What is unique about your culture? Our engineering culture is really a team atmosphere. We don’t have engineers that only install shelves, or only worry about space and power, or only worry about a small network inside of a couple of metro markets.

Of course, this is just a tiny bit of gamification options that you have to achieve enterprise change. It also motivates others to go for the same achievement because they want to reach the same status. Achievements provide a chance to show mastery of a specific topic within organizations. . Do you want to have a chat about gamification?

My elective course is change management, a topic that really captures my interest. . How to make meaningful change that actually lasts is a challenge all teams and companies face. For the past two years, I have studied different ways to approach this challenge as part of my coursework for a Masters degree in Management Sciences.

This quadrant is, of course, not without its limitations. These measurements can provide insight into the experience of real users in the different parts of the checkout flow and even at what point they might drop off. When there is less data available, for example, when fewer users shop at night, measurements are more scattered.

Of course, there’s an upper size limit where the cost of communication and coordination gets high, but you always want enough developers to both maintain the service and continue to innovate it. A few years ago, the engineering team at CircleCI had doubled year over year and became more globally distributed.

If you want to keep your retrospective private, then you can of course keep it in a “raw” form, have a think about it, and take what you’ve learned with you. If you feel your retrospective shines a light on difficulties other engineers might have, share it more widely in your organization. It’s helpful here to think of your audience.

So-called “tech debt” could amount to more than two thirds of the different types of work an engineer might touch , if you apply the label broadly. Of course all of this work could make up a significant portion of a responsible engineer’s quarter or year. And there is a business need behind each type.

Automation, of course! They are a fundamental piece in our engineering culture, since they give us the confidence we need to ship to production often with a lower risk of introducing regressions. It’s not that these things are not important — they absolutely are. But asking humans to enforce them is not optimal.

Of course, communication strategies within a distributed team are shaped largely by time zones. We have an engineering manager in Colorado, who was a remote manager before, who helped us understand remote strategies. Of course, every remote engineer has to start sometime. How do you deal with time zone differences?

Sachin: Yeah, that’s super inspiring for our audience and, like you correctly said, you got to seek those opportunities, and of course you need a little bit of luck, but if you’re willing to take those risks, doors do open. It’s firstly rooted in the engineering culture because the first Netflix employees are great people.

I landed deep in the heart of a reasonable engineering culture. And of course, if you’ve really set a firm direction and you know where you are going with the development then the rest of it is just hard work. Early on I moved away from the cowboys. They were driving me nuts. It just causes stupid problems.

Not just because front end engineering has evolved, but I’ve gone from working in a tiny agency, that basically had three people working at it, to a slightly larger agency that had a few more people in it. I think 10,000 or 12,000, working not on engineering, of course, but it’s the biggest company I’ve worked at.

If you look at chaos engineering, like.1 1 for Datadog, we had done about 160 game days over the course of two years. Over the course of those two years we killed like ten thousand instances. My first question is in terms of this chaos engineering culture, how does this play between your team with all the teams?

Of course, the reality is more complicated than this simplifying description, but you get the idea. Of course, this means the operations people who used to receive software releases ‘over the wall’ must be continually involved – they must be part of the team. They create an engaging engineering culture. This is lean.
