Multitudes @multitudes.co · 23/04/2025@honeycomb.io needed to track and report the human impact of on-call alerts. Together, we co-designed a solution that cut their reporting time by 90% and provided transparent reporting on the impact of alerts. Read here: www.multitudes.com/success-stor... 0175
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 08/04/2025How this works in practice ➡️ The view shows the distinct number of calendar hours disrupted by pages. For example, if there are pages at 6.30pm, 7.15pm, and 7.25pm, we would count two disrupted hours (6-7pm, and 7-8pm). Want to see it in action? Book a product demo: multitudes.com/demo 000
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 08/04/2025With this new view, you’ll be able to clearly see the difference between concentrated and distributed disruptions to better understand the human impact on your team. 000
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 08/04/2025That’s why we’ve launched a new Disrupted Hours chart view – now you can use our in-chart toggles to view page disruptions based on the total number of pages or the distinct number of hours disrupted by pages. 🤩 000
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 08/04/2025Looking after your team’s wellbeing while managing on-call page disruptions can be a juggle. PagerDuty research found that 54% of page responders are being interrupted outside of normal working hours. The wellbeing impact of being paged 5 times over 5 hours is larger than 5 times in one hour. 010

Multitudes @multitudes.co · 03/04/2025The research discusses the perceived tension between being human-centric AND data-driven; teams want to be both but struggle with how. What helps is building trust and being transparent with the use of metrics, because those support psychological safety. 💡 000

Multitudes @multitudes.co · 19/01/2025Trait #4 (2/2) - 💡 Technical ability: Sean also doesn’t think strong engineers need to be particularly hard workers with working long hours. His experience suggests that good work looks like short intense bursts of productivity separated by long periods of relative inactivity. 010
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 19/01/2025Trait #4 (1/2):💡 Technical ability – Deeply technical people will see simple solutions that others miss, and solve whole categories of problems that others can’t. 010
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 19/01/2025Trait #3: 💡 Speed – They work fast. Sean believes there are two reasons for this – they don’t put off hard work, and they tackle hard tasks which means they accumulate experience rapidly. 010
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 19/01/2025Trait #2:💡 Pragmatism – They get things done and have a bias towards working solutions. They're ruthless pragmatists: every design decision is judged by how well it'll work, not how clean or elegant it is. They’re typically happy to make compromises in the interest of shipping. 010
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 19/01/2025Trait #1:💡 Self-belief – Software problems are all unfamiliar problems, therefore engineers work in the dark. For each new piece of work, it’s impossible to say how tricky it’ll be until it’s completed. Strong engineers have the confidence to know they can figure it out. 010
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 19/01/2025What are the traits and skills that make up a "strong" engineer? 💭 Sean Goedecke, Staff Software Engineer at @github.com believes it boils down to four things: self-belief, pragmatism, speed, and technical ability.

Multitudes @multitudes.co · 18/12/2024Takeaway #3: If the wants and needs of the company and employee are not aligned, you’re not doing them any favors by dragging it out or keeping the employee around in a prolonged state of purgatory. 130
Multitudes @multitudes.co · 18/12/2024Takeaway #2: You should rarely try to change someone’s mind about leaving. But always try to understand why they’re leaving. Offering some form of development vs throwing money at the employee has worked for Charity. 030
