Helping Developers With Large Company Process
In this episode of *Dan on Dev*, we explore a problem that plagues many large organizations: **the slow, bureaucratic process that discourages developers from innovating**. If you’ve ever wondered why your engineering teams stop bringing up new ideas—or why good ones vanish into the void—this video breaks down what’s going wrong and how leaders can fix it.
Whether you're leading a team, part of product leadership, or an engineer yourself, this episode gives you a practical roadmap for **championing your devs, cutting through red tape**, and preserving the creativity that fuels world-class software.
🔍 **What you'll learn in this episode:**
- Why developers are creatives—and why their ideas matter
- How the same idea would take **weeks in a startup** vs. **years in a large org**
- A step-by-step breakdown of the traditional corporate gauntlet (PM, UX, Legal, DevOps…)
- What managers can do differently to **protect, support, and elevate** engineer-driven innovation
- Why naming and crediting your team members creates loyalty and motivation
