DeveloperWeek Europe 2023

Luis Parada, FARFETCH, Head of Engineering

For the past year, the Tech Industry has dealt with hiring freezes, layoffs, and an incredible amount of instability. We've seen our teams shrink without the capacity to add new members.

As Engineering Leaders, we're asked to do more with less. Closing more tasks, working more hours and reviewing more merge requests...

But let's question this. What if we would do better and be more impactful? What if we change how we approach our day-to-day, so we don't burn out our teams?

This talk focuses on alternative approaches to shrinking teams, demanding stakeholders and almost unrealistic roadmaps.
