Voices of Developer Thriving: How Senior Software Engineer Lauren Marsillo Uses Science to Advocate for Change

In this interview series, we at the Developer Success Lab (DSL) strive to amplify how developer thriving practically manifests in the lived experiences of software practitioners. The Developer Thriving framework – built on robust empirical research in human wellbeing, learning, and achievement – explores the dynamics within software teams that foster growth, satisfaction, and productivity.

In this third interview of the series, Senior Software Engineer Lauren Marsillo and Principal Developer Experience Engineer Kristen Foster-Marks explore not just Developer Thriving, but also DSL research on AI Skill Threat, and the value of using empirical research to initiate change on software teams.
