How we work

Start what needs starting without waiting to be asked, and finish what you start. Take on work outside your role when a project needs you.

We ship quickly, so we cut scope until only the part users notice is left. Anyone can comment on your work or redo your draft, and we say early when work isn't ready. We read that feedback as help.

We judge the work by what shipped and what changed because of it. Nobody counts hours.
