How LinearB Measures Developer Productivity Without Burnout
Episode 52 of Tech Startups with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna unpack LinearB, the startup that's redefining how engineering teams measure productivity. Instead of counting lines of code or pull requests, LinearB uses metrics like 'time to merge' and 'pull request cycle time' to find bottlenecks and prevent burnout. The hosts trace the company's origin story—founded by Ori Keren and Dan Lines after they saw Git data being used for blame, not improvement. They walk through the 'Four Key Metrics' from the State of DevOps report and how LinearB built a product that actually makes them actionable. Plus, a tangent on why 'bus factor' became a real metric in their dashboard. The episode includes a brief, organic donation segment where the hosts explain their ad-free mission and point listeners to buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. No fluff, just one concrete angle: the shift from output-based to outcome-based engineering measurement.
