This talk is about how we can use ideas from behavioral economics to improve how knowledge spreads across software projects. We’ll present a case study involving chat bots, pull requests, npm, and viral code snippets, to show how we can lower barriers that often prevent ideas from spreading across projects. How do we create opportunities for expertise to spread? How do we better align outcomes with our organizational values? All examples are taken from a team of developers developing a set of cloud native services.
