While remote work is standard practice, a Gartner survey shows its effect on developer experience is not always positive. On the Steering Engineering Podcast, we discuss the findings with researchers Raveena Gandhi and Brian Minning, and explore ideas and tools to elevate your developer experience.
Most companies now offer remote work options to attract and retain talent, acknowledging its importance for work-life balance and productivity.
