1. Reduce the high cost of losing your engineers

Losing your most Sr. Engineers who know EVERYTHING about your codebase would create a serious slowdown in new feature work and bug fixes. Add time for recruiting, interviews, onboarding, and your new hire getting familiar with the code — it’s easy to see how the cost of losing these rockstars is high.[1][2]

Turnover is so frequent that it’s just become a way of life in the tech world (as high as 21.7% in some cases!)[2]. At Sourcetape we think that the pain and cost associated with employee churn can be significantly reduced. Sourcetape reduces the time needed for new engineers to get familiar with your codebase. How? Sourcetape is an extremely low friction way for your engineers to generate feature-rich screen recordings without even leaving their IDE. BUT it’s so much more than that. Sourcetape is made by software engineers and engineering managers who truly understand the problem, so it’s way more than just a screen recorder.

2. Increase the productivity of your engineering department

You’d rather have your engineers writing new code rather than writing documentation. Sourcetape is like automating documentation for your engineering department. All they have to do is hit record and Sourcetape takes care of the rest which makes for less context switching. The ROI on this type of documentation is high.

What happens is that Sr. Engineers who really know a codebase tend to become the go-to-person and end up explaining things over and over. With Sourcetape when a teammate asks for details about a code path or a particular file, your engineers can simply share the relevant Sourcetape recording. Your Sr. Engineers could be working on new features or architecture and mentoring Jr. Devs to become even more productive. Your whole engineering department will become more productive by using Sourcetape!

3. Don’t let employee attrition derail your mission

You’re running a business. You’ve got a mission. A mission that’s bigger than just writing software. At the end of the day it’s about delivering value to your target market. Since the churn rate is so high in the software industry it’s not uncommon to lose your most valued employees. With them goes the deep knowledge they have of your systems. This could slow down your mission, but it doesn’t have to be as drastic as it has been in years past.

Sourcetape will allow you to keep the deep knowledge of your codebases long after your employees have moved on. Let Sourcetape help keep your business on mission by reducing the impact of employee churn.
