Clear golden path for devboxes and local isolation. Engineers can spin up an isolated stack without workarounds. Collaborate with infra and security on the approach.
- Local resource optimization, push intent system harder
- Worktree and stack isolation (dynamic ports, namespaced containers)
- Devbox golden path — make it good enough that nobody builds their own
Local stack and dev experience —

Make local dev better — optimize resource usage, reduce what engineers need running.
- Address high RAM from typegen and TS watch, runaway node processes
- Push dev intents smarter — do we really need the whole stack?
CI improvements — everyone
Keep costs in check, improve trust in CI, address flakiness at a more general level.
- Evaluate alternative CI runners
- Continue flaky test visibility and management
- Build CI observer / flaky test analyzer
Product isolation —

Continue migration — find products that benefit from isolation, move them. Harden multi-DB, land team scoping.
Visual review rollout —

Continue wiring visual review into CI for screenshots. Goal: snapshot headaches move out of PRs, teams actively use it.
Major version upgrades —

Django 5.2 and other major versions where the performance or compatibility gains justify the effort.
Agentic coding patterns — everyone
Stay on top of how engineers use agents. Continue adding skills, explore what the 6-month picture looks like.
- How does DevEx support agent-driven development?
- Where is the overlap with AI teams?
Secure patterns — everyone
Provide secure defaults across the codebase.
- Explore replacing dependabot with renovate, dependency cooldown periods
- Dev machine security, supply chain safety
Metrics and observability —

Track and explore more metrics to leverage for decisions.
- CI observer, leveraging PostHog Signals
- Running surveys or gathering data to understand dev pains
