This is interesting because it’s what I imagine would happen if we scaled this system to a larger team - offense engineers would get sloppy, defensive engineers would get overwhelmed, even with the rotation cycles.
Small, in-person, high-trust teams have the advantage of not falling into bad offense habits.
Additionally, a slower shipping pace simply isn’t an option, seeing as the only advantage we have over our giant competitors is speed.
- jedberg 2y ago> offense engineers would get sloppy Wouldn't they be incentivized to maintain discipline because they will be the defensive engineers next week when their own code breaks?
- dakshgupta 2y agoI suspect as the company gets larger time between defensive sprints will get longer, but yes, for smaller teams this is what keeps quality high, you’ll have to clean up your own mess next week.
