Summary

The "State of Developer Experience 2025" report by Atlassian reveals that the primary source of friction and time waste for engineering teams is finding information, surpassing technical debt as the top issue. Despite AI tools reportedly saving developers over 10 hours weekly, organizational inefficiencies persist, causing over 50% of developers to lose more than 10 hours per week. Developers face challenges like fragmented workflows, siloed knowledge, and cognitive overload, exacerbated by new technology and context-switching. While Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) are seen as a potential solution, they are often difficult to maintain and require significant investment, resulting in many organizations struggling to adopt them effectively. Aviator Teams proposes a new platform to address these issues by serving as a central hub for development activities, aiming to clarify ownership and improve collaboration, ultimately allowing developers to focus more on building and shipping software.
