Most groups in life have shared values. Your church, school, nation, family, swim team, supper club, condo parking lot etc. all have some mix of implicit or explicit values if you look hard enough for them. Some are soft, some are hard. “Fair play” and “equality” are very common ones, which overlap mostly with “No Shenanigans” in this example. The purpose of values is to codify acceptable behavior, and promote a nurturing environment. “Provide exemplary HTTP endpoint documentation“ would be a bit more Twilio specific, but the ethos of the shared value itself is a common one. It’s a pity that in the 21st century the only values agreements most post education adults enter into are the ones with their employer, but we live in a very individualist society.
