Author here, not everyone on the team works on git and git performance. Our team work on a variety of things that touch "code" in general like our ownership system and tooling, access control, bots and automation, etc...

Sorry, there is a quote from the article: "Kudos to other members of the Source Control team — Alex Sadleir, Wesley Li, Adam Murray, Matthew Chhoeu — who work on improving git performance at Canva"

So I assume 5 people working specifically on Git performance ;-P

Heh, I can see how this can be misinterpreted :P

That's the entire Source Control team (of 5 people) today. Among other things, they work on improving Git performance ;)

Thanks for the clarification. How many people work on Developer Productivity in total and what is the percentage from the total engineering headcount?
