Chris Kelly, Developer/Evangelist at New Relic

Does your engineering culture promote happiness, for your teams and for your customers? Or is it cluttered with procedure and toolchains that inhibit and constrain creativity, innovation and play? We often do not recognize how much our process and tools can effect our culture, which impacts our products and ultimately our customers. Our goal should be to delight our customers, so everyone's efforts should be pointed that way. If continuous happiness is Rome, then distributed teams, automated infrastructure, collaboration, continuous integration, freedom, continuous delivery, and empowerment are the roads that lead us there. This isn't a developer talk, this isn't an operations talks, it's not even a DevOps talk. This is a talk about happiness, and both the cultural and technical requirements to continuously deliver it.
