Values and principles that guide my work as a software engineer:
- Feedback is a Gift: Preferably early and directly.
- Meetings Prefer: Short, with an agenda and goals, ad-hoc over scheduled.
- Move fast and make decisions quickly
- Deliverables > Ideas: Deliverables mainly influence my trust battery. Talking, just a little.
- Simplicity: The best solutions are often the simplest ones.
- Efficiency: A small but efficient team is 10x better than a large inefficient.
- Growth: Always be learning.
- Passion: for solving complex problems.
- Fun: Enjoy the process.
- Collaboration: Work as a team.
You’ll see my best version when working on a complex, fun, impactful problem with intelligent and great people.
The book Leading in Through Times taught me to write my values and, each week, look at the decisions I made and compare them against my values. I 100% recommend it.
