Manifestos help
Get values out of our heads
Make values explicit
Give us reasoning for decisions
5 mins 3 manifestos 2 fake + 1 real
Personal SAMPLE
independent workaholic smart jerk
Work over family, unless there is a family emergency SAMPLE
Coldly logical over emotional & creative SAMPLE
I won’t do something just because somebody else is doing
it SAMPLE
I will master one thing, not be Jack of all
trades SAMPLE
I won’t be in debt for more than a month
SAMPLE
Insult is taken, not given SAMPLE
Exercising is for sissies, who can’t get their shit together
and eat properly SAMPLE
I won’t feel guilty for causing kittens and unicorns die
SAMPLE
None
Team SAMPLE
building short-lived promotional sites
We’re in a sprint, not a marathon SAMPLE
I won’t be afraid to take huge risks, the site
will be thrown away soon anyway SAMPLE
After I work overtime, I will take as much time
off SAMPLE
Performance over scalability SAMPLE
Company
http://ma.tt/2011/09/automattic-creed/
I will never stop learning
I won’t just work on things that are assigned to
me
I know there’s no such thing as a status quo
I will build our business sustainably through passionate and loyal
customers
I will never pass up an opportunity to help out
a colleague, and I’ll remember the days before I knew everything
I am more motivated by impact than money, and I
know that Open Source is one of the most powerful ideas of our generation
I will communicate as much as possible, because it’s the
oxygen of a distributed company
I am in a marathon, not a sprint, and no
matter how far away the goal is, the only way to get there is by putting one foot in front of another every day
Given time, there is no problem that’s insurmountable
None
SVN vs. Rule #0
No bullshit
Creeds are not set in stone, iterate
Manifestos are better extracted than constructed
