From cost world to throughp ut world Cost Throughput Throughput Inventory Inventory Cost
Slide 7
In terms of IT company Throughput Cost Sales a.k.a money Throughput Inventory Code Inventory Cost Org cost
Slide 8
The only initiatives that will positively impact performance are ones that increase throughput while simultaneously decreasing cost
Slide 9
CUTING COSTS (LAYOFFS) WITHOUT INCREASING THROUPUT BY MOVING INVENTORY (CREATING AND SELLING MORE SOFTWARE) IS USELESS
Slide 10
But what about silent quitting ?

Don’t ruin the flow
Slide 30
“The build takes forever, I am distracted to do other things and the context switch is terrible”
Slide 31
Slide 32
Don’t frustrate the developers
Slide 33
“we have a flanky test, it is irrelevant 99.5% of the time , but it always runs and it is last in the suite”

Developer Productivity == A/M Autonomy /P == motivation Tools and people aren’t in my way Mastery Tools and processes help me to excel Purpose I want to be productive, i.e. create the product

Slide 52
The Build frustrates the developers
Slide 53
Let’s ask Chatgpt
Slide 54
What the actual f*ck?! × Skipping tests defeats the purpose of the build! × How about skipping compilation? × We want faster feedback, not less feedback
Slide 55
What feedback do we want?
Slide 56
Ci/cd pipeline quality gates It compiles Basic Integration tests Basic Unit tests Basic Quality Linting Quality Code coverage Dependency scanning SAST/DAST Quality Sec Static code analysis Sec Sec Secrets scanning Resource Utilization Nonfunc Nonfunc Load Testing Nonfunc Compliance
Slide 57
Slide 58
Two types of feedback x e.g., CI/CD x we never wait for it x results are distracting x e.g., build x we’ll wait for it in the flow x we’ll be pissed off when it’s slow
Slide 59
Reverse dependency on distance from developers Faster IDE Build CI Feedback Time Commit time synchronous asynchronous Slower Distance from Developers Production
Slide 60
Ideal build time feedback It compiles Basic Integration tests Basic Unit tests Basic Quality Linting Quality Code coverage Dependency scanning SAST/DAST Quality Sec Static code analysis Sec Sec Secrets scanning Resource Utilization Nonfunc Nonfunc Load Testing Nonfunc Compliance
Slide 61
Slide 62
Delightful build (pick two): ☑ provides max feedback ☑ fast
Slide 63
Skip what can be skipped (but no more!)
Slide 64
Avoidance: Incremental build × Don’t build what didn’t changed × Don’t build what isn’t affected
Slide 65
Avoidance: Incremental build s hortcomings × Relies on produced artifacts × Relies on architectural decisions
Slide 66
Avoidance: Caching × × × × Makes the build faster Makes the build faster for everybody Makes the build faster always Makes all parts of the build faster
Slide 67
Slide 68
Avoidance: Predictive test selec tion × Learns code changes effects de-facto × Skips tests with high degree of confidence
Slide 69
How test prediction works × Code changes and test results are thrown into learning model × After a while, the model predicts which changes fail which tests
Slide 70
Test prediction What changed Where it changed Correlate with observed test failures Predictions which changes will fail which tests
Slide 71
Black magic in action × The more tests a project has, the less they break × Refactorings in Java break tests less than in JavaScript
Slide 72
Slide 73
Speed up what can’t be skipped
Slide 74
Test parallelization × Use max power of local machine × (Yes, your boss should buy you the bleeding edge)
Slide 75
Slide 76
Test distribution × × × × CI uses fan-out to speed-up tests Shouldn’t you enjoy it for local tests? Use the cloud to distribute test load RUN ALL THE TESTS!
Slide 77
Why not just using ci fan-out? × Relying on shared CI infrastructure × CI infrastructure is not optimized for real-time feedback! × Are the agents as fast as they can be?
Slide 78
Don’t let it slide
Slide 79
Observe and improve × Measure local build times across time and environments × Detect downfacing trends × Find root causes and improve

Fight downsizing survivor gu ilt with DPE × It improves morale × It covers productivity gaps × It’s the right thing to do for both the employees and the business × But it requires an organizational mindset and a dedicated effort!
