Since posting here earlier today, I've gotten a lot of feedback and had many conversations with people about Key Values. I wanted to share a couple of thoughts and observations :) 1. Most people feel strongly that some subset of the &

Sure that's true, but then the only way to really know what it's like to work at a company is to spend 4-12 weeks working there yourself. Some would argue that that is still not enough time to form a real opinion. My hope with Key

I am a firm believer that saying what you are not can be more informative than saying what you are. So yes, the option to "negate" values is on the roadmap :) Re: ambiguous "value tags", they're up for interpretat

Yes, this is why companies are limited to 8 values and are then asked to qualify their selections in their profiles. At the end of the day, teams are implicitly saying what they are not when they don't put it in their top 8.

You make a lot of great points! Finding a job is a lot like dating. People typically don't share their worst qualities upfront, and I decided early on that I didn't want to force them to. Instead, I've become more of a coach&

Thanks, and you're exactly right about both of those things. It'll make more sense to use AND once I add more profiles! (It's a pretty sad experience using AND at this point haha) Re: locations, I'm w/ you! I was fo

I think that's okay actually. I see profiles to be like an interview with say, an engineering manager or current team members. We ask questions, they answer, and we decide how strong or convincing that answer is.

Hello! Lynne here, the creator of Key Values. I’m an indie hacker, and I've spent the last few months putting this together. I interviewed dozens of engineers to come up with a list of values: things we care about most when evaluating

Hi Schoen, My name is Lynne and I built Key Values. I wasn't the one who posted my website to HN but I do love discussing it! :D I don't think you're being overly negative at all. Here are my thoughts: 1. Missing values? The

i'm sure you've seen the interviews on indiehackers.com, but there are many more bootstrapped companies on their way up! many to watch out for.
