dhruvagga··on Hugging Face and Dora Metrics: Fast Code, Slow Response
what are you smoking up bro?!
dhruvagga··on OpenStreetMap's DevOps Efficiency: A Data-Driven Dora Metrics Analysis
hmm.. ok

And I don't understand how to correlate your Dep. frequency here with PR merges. There's one point where the project might build vs considering every PR merge as a deployment. Don't you think that would shake the metrics rating for this repo as per your assessment?

Do you think lead time as a concept matters so much in open source repos? As in, if a contributor feels like contributing they will otherwise not. Because there's no accountability, the lead time becomes pointless - wdyt?

too much truth in one comment.

Any service suggestions?

This looks super interesting!
dhruvagga··on Ask HN: Founders who offer free/OS and paid SaaS, how do you manage your code?
We recently launched Middleware(https://github.com/middlewarehq/middleware) - Open Source Software for Engineering Analytics. We made an architectural change first of splitting the product into core and non-core features. We put core in one repo and non-core in other repos.

We made the core part open source and our paid offering takes up the rest of the product as addons! So, we maintain only one codebase and avoid the hassle of drifts.

Happy to offer more insight.

Thanks @jayantbhawal!

Glad you liked it! One of the early insights we got for driving productivity in organisations was the tools overwhelming the leaders with data, rendering no action. We have tried our bit to keep high signal to noise ratio and offer interactive views instead of just data dumps.

Thank you @aravindputrevu! Our team spent the last few months in chiseling out the core of our product to open-source! Glad you liked it :)

Engineering productivity is a complex topic and a crucial decision is to pick a framework which is non-monitoring, non-gameable. DORA metrics fits well right in.

Hey there! I am Dhruv Agarwal, one of the co-founders of MiddlewareHQ. Today, we’re open sourcing the core of our product.

Being both an engineer and an engineering manager in the last decade I observed that builders are stuck in slightly sized orgs (>40 engineers) and leaders have a meek sense of the blockers. So, I observed 2 types of leaders: micro-managers or gut feeling wingers.

The end result in both cases are unhappy and stuck developers. Hence, we built Middleware.

This version offers DORA metrics out of the box to help any engineering team get started on tracking their delivery pipeline health (both in speed and quality).

Engineering productivity is a complex topic and a crucial decision is to pick a framework which is non-monitoring, non-gameable.

DORA metrics fits well right in and being open source Middleware makes it easy to start within your infra/env securely.

Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts!

dhruvagga··on Ask HN: Developers should have 0 meetings and focus on slow productivity?
I feel going with 0 meetings is quite extreme! All meetings are not harmful though - might help in context building or resolution faster than other ways of working. Context switching though can hurt while doing deep work, putting slots of maker/manager time might help here.

Hey pacifika, thanks for your feedback. We have implemented a completely public route as well. Do check it out - https://unwrapped.dev/

Thanks @furtugoth! Great thought. Nothing comes to my mind, but we should try using Unwrapped and get back :)

dhruvagga··on Show HN: Never make a manual report for engineering metrics again
Of course @greycharles! We offer tracking Mean time to resolution (MTTR) leveraging integration with your incident management tools like PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Zenduty.

Many people track DORA metrics for their teams using Middleware which consists of Change Failure Rate and MTTR calculated using your incident mgmt tool and deployment tool.

Did I answer what you were looking for?

dhruvagga··on Show HN: Never make a manual report for engineering metrics again
Sure! that's a nice thought @quickthrower2.

However, developers do need deep work time to write code. Of course, what action needs to be taken is subjective and Middleware can only provide probable signals affecting developer's joy of building :)
