Elevator Pitch

Be the right hand of the VP of engineering – convention over configuration – see a bug, fix a bug – continuous integration, build and testing – you break it, you own it – code speaks louder than words – opinionated software – without loss of generality – merge often and early – refactor or die – software engineering is a misnomer, it should be software evolution – “do, or do not, there is no try” – butterfly wings
