What makes software developers happy? There is no silver bullet that answers this sixty-four-thousand-dollar question! Retaining top talent in this fast pacing world is imperative! When sleep pods , ping-pong tables , personal chefs and other fancy perks do not do the trick, we really need to think hard on how to please them and promote their engagement and motivation.

StackOverflow Developer Survey has listed a few factors that can weigh in the balance: work flexibility, company culture, career growth, to name just a few.

Job Priorities: StackOverflow Developer Survey — 2019

In this article I will cover the drivers that have mostly contributed to my (work) happiness in my fifteen-year I.T. journey, as well as the ramifications and suggestions on issues I faced, so if you are a team lead, manager, or entrepreneur, it might give you some ideas on how to keep your team content and committed!

:star:️ Quick note on the title:
In case you haven't guessed, 'Shiny Happy Developers' is inspired by R.E.M.'s 'Shiny Happy People' — my daughter’s favourite song!
