Developer Core Values
Most likely the four most important values for a developer-centric company:
1. Team.
Recognize that software development is an inherently social, team-driven experience – everyone on the team should get into a rhythm of regularly communicating and working together on tough issues, whether it’s done remotely / asynchronously / in-person – whatever.
No one codes off in a corner by themselves at V4; good programmers do their best work when they’re working with effective teams.
We do our best to make sure our developers have suitable tools and processes for managing their projects and work in concert with their teammates.
2. Communication.
The ability to communicate concisely is a developer’s most important skill, even more than ability to code – everyone on the team should be able to articulate new ideas, improvements, and issues. If you can’t concisely explain a problem or a new idea, how else are you supposed to win the support of your teammates?
Developers at V4 are encouraged to blog about writing software, give talks at conferences and user groups, and contribute to open source projects – because these are all forcing functions that improve a developer’s most important tool: the ability to concisely and understandably communicate technical content.
3. Learn.
Continuously learn and improve – a developer’s job is to model the complexity of the real world, and to do that well you need to learn more about the world itself and improve the tools you use to model it.
V4 fields a wide range of technical challenges we have to solve everyday, so we invest a lot into helping our team members improve their skills, learn new technologies, and play with new tools.
4. Adapt.
Pragmatic programmers only – we have to optimize for flexibility and speed of iteration.
Everything must be designed in a way that it can be changed quickly if needed so we can frequently deliver new versions of our products. Performance, “scalable” design, and all of that other /r/Programming stuff only becomes a concern once it becomes a real problem rather than a theoretical problem.
This is how developers at V4 are expected to approach problems: pragmatically. There is no room for design / platform / language dogma in our shop.
