- Remember, design debates are a way to continually improve our processes and software is a core element of our Engineering culture. We want people who strive to make things better and are always willing to learn from others.
- Don’t take all of the blame - When software breaks, we’re all on the hook. We share knowledge, responsibility, and an excitement for fixing things when we discover them.
