CircleCI Identifies the Ten ‘Hottest’ Developer Days for Productivity for
Summer 2023
SAN FRANCISCO, June 15 2023 — CircleCI, the leading continuous integration andcontinuous delivery (CI/CD) platform, has released its expected ten most productive
days for developers for Summer 2023.

The latter half of June, July and August are expected to be more productive than thefront end of each month. Wednesdays take the lead as the most productive day of theweek, with four Wednesdays making the list. Surprisingly, two Fridays also make the topten.
To determine the most productive days of the summer, CircleCI tracks a metric that isbased on measurement of activity on their platform for any given day relative to theactivity of a defined average workday. Forecasting revolves around holiday periods first,
then layers in non-holiday weekday forecasts, and then weekend forecasts. The CircleCIplatform examines more than 14 million workflows from over twenty-two thousandorganizations.

Software is being developed at a speed that previously didn’t exist, this is triggering a
multiplier effect for developer productivity. CircleCI’s recent State of Software Delivery
Report identified half of CI workflows (50%) recovered from a failed run in 64 minutes orless compared to 73 minutes or more in previous years, highlighting an uptick in
productivity efforts.
“Productivity and efficiency are top of mind for most organizations today, but combining
this with the rise of new applications like generative A.I., we’re on the cusp of seeing a
productivity boom take place for developers,’ said Jim Rose, CEO, CircleCI. “As teams try
to keep up with the pace, many struggle to manage their complexity of their tech stackor spend too much time managing the application environment instead of writing code.
To bridge this gap and ensure developers are prepared for this new era of softwaredevelopment, teams need to have appropriate testing and validation processes in place
to ensure consistent performance.”
