Technical Values

Code quality, continuous learning, and embracing change

Code Quality First

  • Writing readable, maintainable code is more important than writing "clever" code
  • Don't sacrifice code quality to meet deadlines
  • Quality is the team's baseline, not something to be traded off

Continuous Learning and Growth

  • Technology is constantly changing — stopping learning means falling behind
  • The team encourages experimenting with new technologies, but uses mature technologies for production projects
  • Learning isn't something extra — it's part of the job

Embrace Change and Innovation

  • Change is the norm — adapt rather than resist
  • Encourage new ideas, even if they're not ultimately adopted
  • Innovation doesn't have to be a big invention — optimizing a process or improving a tool counts too

Open Sharing and Collaboration

  • Knowledge isn't personal competitive advantage — sharing it makes the team stronger
  • Proactively share what you've learned
  • Ask for help when you're stuck — don't struggle alone
  • Helping colleagues isn't an extra burden — it's part of teamwork
