This document discusses the importance of developers and leveraging existing developer talent. It notes that businesses need to better utilize their existing software engineers to move faster, build new products, and capitalize on trends. While some think lack of developers is the primary problem, the study found that how developers are leveraged is more important than sheer numbers. Environmental factors like uninterrupted work hours and peace in the workplace allow developers to operate more effectively. The document advocates for automating developer workflows to increase agility rather than viewing developers as automatons.

approximately 40%, then the environment is allowing
