A lot of us are working alone or in small, relatively isolated, teams. So, we’re learning the same things, making the same mistakes and fretting over the same questions but we haven’t been great at sharing with each other what we’ve learnt.

Where’s the disconnect?

The disconnect...
Product Management
Developers per day (hour?)
Developer Relations
Customers per quarter

Product hypothesis:
Fluent interfaces in all our libraries will be a game changer. It will be something every developer will
want, because it’s so dang obvious.
