Principles to keep in mind

[gypsydancer]

Hi Everyone!

I created a few slides with some key principles that IMO every Tech Team should follow. You can find them here.

I also pasted the content at the end of the post. What do you think of it? Is there something missing? Do you agree or disagree? I wrote those principles as a reminder for my next project with a small team of IndieHackers that I am planning to kick off soon.

Team

• We trust in the skills of each team member.
• We challenge each other to think outside the box.
• We focus on the goal and don’t get lost in endless discussions.

Code

• We aim to write efficient code, focusing on achieving functionality with minimal complexity.
• We only select dependencies that offer long-term maintainability.
• We quickly adapt and deliver new features.

Product

• Functionality should be self-evident, minimizing the need for explanations.
• Beauty and functionality go hand-in-hand.
• We believe in open communication with our users.

Work

• We work remotely. We don’t waste time commuting.
• We keep our promises and deliver.
• We are readily available for quick chats.

Community

• We are building a thriving community from the very beginning.
• We don’t fake results. We value our community.
• We keep our community informed through regular product updates.
