If you’ve ever shipped a product or owned a software business, you know this: writing code isn’t the real bottleneck for business, of-course the teams could be faster, could have less technical debt and so on.

When two creatives collaborate, the design process becomes a shared stage — each bringing their own strengths, perspectives, and instincts. This project united designer/art director Artem Shcherban and 3D/motion designer Andrew Moskvin to help New York–based scenographer and costume designer Christian Fleming completely reimagine how his work is presented.

Based on the laughter emanating from our circle and into the woods, you wouldn’t know that the people sitting around the fire had just met each other a few days prior. Conversation about life, design, music, and technology blurred together, and inside jokes were…

So, you’ve built an amazing open source project or developer tool. Now you need a landing page that doesn’t suck! You could spend weeks researching what works, A/B testing layouts, and second-guessing design decisions.

What does it take to consistently ship great products? For many development leaders, the answer is evolving. To understand this shift and its broader impacts, we commissioned research from the International Data Corporation (IDC)—surveying 500 development leaders across North America and Europe and augmenting with qualitative interviews.
