📊 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:

1. Click to your icon in the upper right hand corner in Compass

2. Select “Theme” and see your options

3. Choose between Light, Dark, or automatically match your browser

Log into Compass to check it out.
