"the value of software to reduce human misery"
I really do hope that we can all see it like so, and strive to make changes that actively improve folks' lives!

Things like this, and very slow build/test/deploy lifecycles are pretty low-hanging fruit - makes a huge difference, as well as making your teams happier!

We recently found that the new 2021 M1 MacBooks cut our Android build times in half. So for a team of 9, $32k of laptops will actually save $100k in productivity over 2022. The break-even point happens at 3 months. TL;DR Engineering hours are much more expensive than laptops!Jameson (@softwarejameson)Wed, 03 Nov 2021 18:52 GMT
