Hello, Product Hunt community! 👋 I'm Tomek, the founder of HAY. From research and documentation to coding and deployment, developers often encounter many challenges that make creating software confusing, difficult, and joyless. This experience not only hampers productivity but could also jeopardize the end product. That’s why I'm thrilled to introduce HAY’s DX Platform, our solution that helps EMs and Tech Leads build high-performing engineering teams by optimizing work output, enhancing wellbeing, and fostering teamwork. I'm super excited to hear your thoughts, feedback, and questions. Let's improve DX and bring empowerment, support, and motivation back to building software.

How do you avoid the cobra effect with this?

@sentry_co Great question! We hope HAY doesn't overcomplicate things. We purposely made it a simple solution, unlike some of our competitors, which we believe focus too much on metrics.

This is a beautiful product. Just from experience in a large organisation - I would consider adding a MS Teams integration. I really like the wellbeing feature. Team progress on projects is more of a concern for Project Managers / Product Owners and is better managed on tools like JIRA - but otherwise really great product!

@gandharv_bakshi I gave it a read. Thank you for taking the time to check out our product and site.

This is such a cool product. Just out of curiosity, when you detect that a coworker is getting close to burn out, what have you found works best to help them?
Tomasz Korzeniowski
Maker
@jakepage Thanks for showing interest! Actually, we designed it hoping we wouldn't get there with certain checks and balances along the way with pulse checks and seeing productivity slumps. Our best tool is probably the 1:1, which helps to gain more wellbeing insights, and all the data that EMs gather up to that moment.

It's simple for me: always support when I see that someone focuses on developer wellbeing. Great to see this prioritized in your product!

@mlody_g Thank you! Yes, developer wellbeing is an important topic these days. We hope we got it right, but any feedback is appreciated!

Great idea! Congratulations!

Platform seems like a comprehensive approach to improving developer experience and team collaboration. How does your platform measure and track changes in developer wellbeing and productivity? Additionally, are there specific features that promote teamwork and foster a positive engineering culture?
Tomasz Korzeniowski
Maker
@r_martirosyan Thanks for the support, Roman! In terms of productivity, we leverage GitHub analytics with a GitHub integration; and for wellbeing, we use a Slack plug-in to check up on morale and satisfaction. We make sure all this centers around productive, forward-focused 1:1 meetings.
Adam Gold
This is really cool. How does it measure sentiment and wellness from Slack?
Tomasz Korzeniowski
Maker
@adamgold7 Thanks for the question and showing interest. The pulse survey allows EMs to spot signals from those who may need support. This is based on a short, declarative survey in real-time, but is then a topic to deepen during a 1:1 meeting. Sometimes acting right away is an important factor for effective support. It also allows you to see the change in results over time because it is short and repeated, for example, once a week.

I'm all for ideas that boost team morale and productivity, which is why I'm hitting the upvote. It's like finding that secret sauce that makes work not only efficient but also more satisfying for everyone involved. how user-friendly is the platform for managers not so tech-savvy? Can they get it rolling without a hitch?
Tomasz Korzeniowski
Maker
@aman_wen Hi Aman, yes! Thank you for the support! We did quite a bit of research with engineering managers of all types. We got great feedback from them. Feel free to check it out - we welcome your feedback, too!

Congratulations on the launch! Looks like a useful tool to help make team members more happy and productive. Interested to know if the amount of code in commits is taken into account?

@oleksandr_zhabin Thanks Oleksandr! Yes, and it also reflects in the visualization with graph size and lines of code.

When companies have the possibility of seeing this data in real time FROM THE SOURCE (aka employees) it seems crazy not to use it. Excellent work!!
