Drink your own champagne and share it with your friends. Invest time to save time. Cross-pollinate, delegate, get blendy, and let the good vibes roll.

Rather than forcing tooling mandates or tracking stringent developer productivity metrics, much of GitHub’s success lies in fostering a culture of internal knowledge sharing. “It’s really important for me to cross-pollinate and teach those new skill sets,” says Batra. Staying on top of technologies just around the corner is critical, as they often have the “highest potential to improve productivity,” says Batra.

For Batra, productivity is also intrinsically tied to culture and team dynamics.
