The Stack Overflow Podcast - Hypergrowth headaches

Like a lot of good tools, Backstage started as a way to stop using a spreadsheet. They knew it was something worth open-sourcing when conference attendees paid more attention to the tool than the topics of the talks. 

Backstage treats docs-like-code, keeping markdown files in the same repo as the code. Down with wikis, up with pull requests!

If you want to learn more about Backstage, check out our recent webinar with Emma Indal, a web engineer at Spotify.

The Stack Overflow Podcast - What science says about achieving the flow state

Show notes

If you’re interested in diving deeper into Professor Fritz’s research on developer flow states, check out his list of publications. 

Flow states can be affected by things as simple as the right lighting, so Logitech created keyboards that automatically adjust their keyboard backlighting. 

Lights can be used to indicate your interruptibility.; Prof. Fritz did some research on FlowLight, which indicates your willingness to be interrupted with a simple red light/green light protocol. These days, you can use your Slack status to the same effect. 

If you’re looking for apps to improve your daily flow, Cassidy recommends Centered.
