Mapbox does this too, even as we've grown to 300 people. When I first joined every single employee had to put themselves on the team page, going through the whole commit, test, and push process with the help of someone who knew how. W

I'm a beekeeper, and I have a home-made bee escape to clear bees out of boxes that are ready to be harvested. I put it between the honey super and the brood box, and as it gets colder at night, bees move downward to keep the brood warm

Can you imagine the panic they must have felt when they realized that there was security flaw in code that hadn't been compiled in 17 years, that they didn't even write, they couldn't find... and they were responsible for fix

Chasing bugs and being on-call sound like core parts of a software engineer's job, rather than operational work. That said, some teams at my company are experimenting with having a week-long rotation for "bread box" issues. T

Interviews aren't only for the company to get a feel for you- it's also your chance to get a feel for the company. Would you want to work with someone who talked over you? How about someone more interested in boosting their own eg

Half the fun of using giphy through Slack was the risk of getting an awkwardly bad gif. Once there was a preview, folks in my Slacks stopped using it. I use the giphy website a couple times a week, but the search is terrible. It's my g
