"YOU CANNOT IMPROVE WHAT YOU CANNOTMEASURE" - W. EDWARDS DEMING

IMPROVING CODE AND DECREASING TECHNICALDEBT IS ALWAYS A GOOD APPROACH.

WILL TO IMPROVE IS AN ATTITUDE NOT A ONE TIMEJOB, REQUIRES LOTS OF PRACTICE AND PERSISTENCE.

THINK OF 3 THINGS THAT YOU THINK WILL IMPROVEYIPL TECHNICALLY

GENERAL AUTOMATIONWhen you push to GitLab, a notification is triggered in abot room in HipchatWhen you push to GitLab, it automatilly pushes toBitbucket and runs the buildHipchat is notified about deployment start and progress

FAST FORWARD TO 2015 Q1, WE HAVE CODE QUALITYCHECKS IN GIT PRE COMMIT HOOK

WE HAVE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS DOING PAIRPROGRAMMING

WE HAVE CODE REVIEWS ON MERGE REQUESTS

WE HAVE AUTOMATED CODE REVIEWS

WE HAVE LOG MONITORING WITH GRAYLOG2 INPLACE

WE HAVE LIVE APP MONITORING WITH NEWRELIC

RECAPWe need processes to improve developer productivityIt takes some time for following processes to become ahabit.Reading and implementing best practices is one of thebest practice.It's not only about the tools/technologies. It's also abouthow you use them.I am suggesting ideas that could help improve YIPLtechnically.
