From 32f53350a3a3d701e9a1474e670a8454342adc40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Sima Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:57:32 -0400 Subject: Devalloc informational website This includes deployment and implementation. As part of sprint-49, here are the startup progress questions: - Are you on track? - Yes? I'm making progress toward a proper launch. - Are you launched? - No - How many weeks to launch? - I would say 4 but it's probably more like 8 - How many (prospective) users have you talked to in the last week? - 2, Kyle and his manager, see below - What have you learned from them? - Kyle thought the metrics were interesting. - His manager thought the metrics were kinda useful but didn't think they really helped people ship higher quality code faster. So that's the rub: I have to show how this can make devs ship higher quality code faster; or, develop a set of features that improve those things. - Kyle pointed out that the clustering feature of devalloc will find optimal pairings *and* identify team silos that could be improved, so that's important to remember and might be a good angle in the future. - On a scale of 1-10, what is your morale? - 6 maybe - What most improved your primary metric? - Well I was able to deploy something within in the week, whereas before I had zero deploys per week. So that's an improvement. - What is your biggest obstacle? - Finding customers to talk to. - Also the thing isn't really built yet, I just have a python script. I need to build the real SaaS product - What are your top 1-3 goals for next week? - Find a single customer I can work with on an ongoing basis - I should ask around my network to see if I have any second-order connections that would be willing to work with me (Asher, Chad, previous bosses, etc) - Build out the front-end of the website (it's very simple, would just need a basic miso module and deployment) - Figure out how to connect/auth to the Github API so I can start building the SaaS version of the product Some user feedback from my friend Kyle. This comes from his engineering manager: > "Looks neat. If it were priced low enough I could see using it to run reports > as part of an overall package. A lot of those metrics don't matter too much to > me as a manager though A lot of these code quality tools are handy info but I > don't feel like they make people ship code any faster or any higher quality > Things like CodeClimate work well for Jrs though to avoid obvious static type > mistakes" Kyle provided some additional comments: > he might have been an unusual case. Jared's not big into metrics, Pivotal > Tracker point estimates, or things like that... He's far more into qualitative > feedback, like retrospectives and 1:1s > > I think it's definitely neat data! I certainly like the collaboration analysis > > It's interesting, we recently had a pair where two devs didn't work well > together, that could be represented here. Though, we didn't want to avoid > having them work together, we wanted them to find a work style that worked for > both of them And that's a good point: devalloc will find optimal pairings *and* points where you could improve team cohesiveness. --- Biz/Dev.nix | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'Biz/Dev.nix') diff --git a/Biz/Dev.nix b/Biz/Dev.nix index a08a8f7..cdb3036 100644 --- a/Biz/Dev.nix +++ b/Biz/Dev.nix @@ -9,8 +9,14 @@ bild.os { ./Users.nix ./Dev/Configuration.nix ./Dev/Hardware.nix + ../Devalloc/Host.nix ]; networking.hostName = "lithium"; networking.domain = "dev.simatime.com"; + services.devalloc-host = { + enable = true; + port = 8095; + package = bild.ghc ../Devalloc/Host.hs; + }; } -- cgit v1.2.3
