In this Tech Talks Dev episode, In Time Tec Software Engineers Simran and Ray break down the difference between vanity metrics (commits, merge requests, lines of code) and real DevOps ROI: delivering customer value faster with higher quality.

They walk through the metrics that actually reveal bottlenecks and reliability, including lead time for changes, observability, and mean time to recovery (MTTR), plus why metrics can backfire when they become targets.

You’ll also hear how DevOps intersects with DevSecOps and cost-focused work (FinOps), and why shared ownership matters from build to production.
