At the first ever Distill conference being held by Engine Yard August 8th & 9th, our very own Director of Project Management Patti Chan will be talking about Fitbit, Github and R.
I had a chance to talk with Patti about her talk, currently scheduled for day #2 of the conference. Here’s what she said:
Overview of Patti’s Talk
Learn how to measure, visualize, and improve the health and productivity of your engineering team using open source tools and APIs like R, Fitbit, and Github. Especially if your team works from home or is confined to cubicles, engineering can be a pretty sedentary lifestyle. With this set of tools, find out the best time of day to tack on a walk outside, or how active individuals are squeezing in their morning runs. See what hours are most productive for checking in code and how they correlate to healthy activity.
