📊 Atlassian reveals the State of Developer Experience Report 2024
Did you know 69% of developers lose 8 hours or more of their working week to inefficiencies in their role? We surveyed 2,100+ developers and managers to understand the points of friction getting in the way of developer satisfaction and productivity. In this report, you’ll discover:
-
How to improve developer experience in a meaningful way
-
Mismatches between leader attitudes and what developers experience
-
The future of developer experience, including the impact of AI
-
Progress and limitations to developer experience
Get the report.
⏰ Alerts and on-call in Compass coming soon
Alerts and on-call scheduling just got easier! We announced an Early Access Program (EAP) for new alerts and on-call functionality in Compass this month. This feature makes on-call scheduling and alerts easier by consolidating all of the information you need in Compass – the same place you already track, collaborate on, and improve your software components with your team.
Alerts and on-call will initially roll out to a limited cohort of eligible Compass customers included in the Compass Standard plan, and we plan to announce GA later this year. Learn more about alerts and on-call in Compass.
💡 Dark mode is here for a better developer experience
Change your theme to view your catalog, scorecards, and components in dark mode. Compass users can transform their UI into a low-light, sleek environment, reducing eye strain during long work sessions. Flip the switch – your eyes will thank you.
Here’s how to toggle on dark mode:
-
Click to your icon in the upper right hand corner in Compass
-
Select “Theme” and see your options
-
Choose between Light, Dark, or automatically match your browser
