Haystack (@ycombinator W21) announces the launch of our Software Delivery Ops Platform to end the chronic software delays concerning 89% of business leaders in the US. "How To Avoid The Software Delays Holding Your Business Back" - @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/davidpro…

A lesser-known fact about the Horizon IT Scandal was that it was one of the earliest software projects to leverage an Agile development methodology. From miscarriages of justice to fatal car crashes, Dr Junade Ali explores when Agile goes wrong: usehaystack.io/blog/when-agil…

NEW: Polling of 500 UK and US business decision-makers for @UseHaystack As software projects overrun, 89% of US businesses and 81% of UK businesses are concerned about the on-time delivery of software. Tables: jlpartners.com/polling-results Story @Forbes 👇 forbes.com/sites/davidpro…

A startling 70% of software projects face delays. @useHaystack (YC W21) plugs directly into dev platforms to provide constant feedback on key metrics that show how a project is progressing, so teams can identify problems likely to cause a delay earlier. forbes.com/sites/davidpro…

When I post what I've made - interesting, or silly, I get "But why..?", "Why not just...", "Already exists" Not burning out is a competitive advantage. The daily grind of dev ain't easy and you should always be seeking out ways to combat burnout. usehaystack.io/blog/83-of-dev…

The best part of driving the Working Group? That I was not alone! I worked with @_robdominguez and @danielchmbrs and I cannot be more grateful to them! Also, the quality of the results themselves is 10x times better thanks to their help!! Thank you, Rob, and thank you, Daniel 🤗

Apart from presenting the result internally, in the next months, we will check if the situation gets better. If not, we will try to understand the developer’s difficulties applying the best practices mentioned. 👇

1. Missing or not enough detailed PR description 2. Big PRs 3. Code Owners 4. Lack of ownership 5. Notifications missing 6. PR review time not explicitly allocated 7. Timezone overlaps 8. CI issues (more details in the blog post) 👇

Thanks to Haystack usehaystack.io we realized our PRs stay open for 7 days on average. Then we welcomed everyone to discuss the topic, we interviewed engineers and the biggest friction points were: 👇

Hey @elonmusk and the engineering team at @Twitter, we'd love to help with code review. ;)

@okvivi @mirceap What are you using on your side @okvivi ? Curious if you have any feedback on engineering velocity/performance

@mirceap @usehaystack Are you using it actively at Clubhouse, or is this from a past life / other projects?

Anybody out there has success using Eng Analytics tooling to improve their team (50 eng size) - LinearB, okayhq, waydev? If you do, any recommendations?

Thanks for the shoutout, @mirceap!

@okvivi I found @usehaystack quite useful
