I absolutely love that. I'm a huge fan of what Hastings and company have done over there in terms of culture and making Netflix a unique and desirable place to work.
I think it's time for another round of "find a way to make Netflix hire me."
- billjings 11y agoThe real interesting thing to me is the language around "paved road"s, and management support for tools teams to maintain those paved roads. It's easy to say, "Engineers should use the tools they deem appropriate" and make the engineers happy. What's harder is to support those individual efforts with attention and money to build a common consensus and a shared toolchain. "Paved roads" is nice language to describe the utility of consensus without condemning those who depart from it. I dig it.
