Of course, it hasn't been easy going for engineering leaders either. That's why Nick, the VP of Engineering and Head of Product at Kyte, sat down with us to discuss how to build an engineering culture with a bias toward action, why he deleted his team's staging environment, and what it takes to outmaneuver his former employer, Uber.

The company was intriguing to begin with, but I knew nothing of the talent, culture, or leadership’s vision. After interviewing, it became clear to me that this company culture was different than any I had experienced. Over the course of your time here, how has your role evolved? Data Engineers of Netflix?

Of course, there’s an upper size limit where the cost of communication and coordination gets high, but you always want enough developers to both maintain the service and continue to innovate it. A few years ago, the engineering team at CircleCI had doubled year over year and became more globally distributed.

Of course, communication strategies within a distributed team are shaped largely by time zones. We have an engineering manager in Colorado, who was a remote manager before, who helped us understand remote strategies. Of course, every remote engineer has to start sometime. ONBOARD FOR CULTURE.

Culture will eat any structure. The pitfall is that it changes labels without the cultural and mindset change to go with it. Their approach grew from their people and their culture. In addition, all attempts to document a culture are simplifications that are missing details that were important.

Of course, this is just a tiny bit of gamification options that you have to achieve enterprise change. It also motivates others to go for the same achievement because they want to reach the same status. Achievements provide a chance to show mastery of a specific topic within organizations. . Do you want to have a chat about gamification?

This quadrant is, of course, not without its limitations. These measurements can provide insight into the experience of real users in the different parts of the checkout flow and even at what point they might drop off. When there is less data available, for example, when fewer users shop at night, measurements are more scattered.

Sachin: Yeah, that’s super inspiring for our audience and, like you correctly said, you got to seek those opportunities, and of course you need a little bit of luck, but if you’re willing to take those risks, doors do open. It’s firstly rooted in the engineering culture because the first Netflix employees are great people.

If you want to keep your retrospective private, then you can of course keep it in a “raw” form, have a think about it, and take what you’ve learned with you. If you feel your retrospective shines a light on difficulties other engineers might have, share it more widely in your organization. It’s helpful here to think of your audience.

These are built on three key principles: Automation : By automating recurring tasks whenever possible, we reduce the margin for human error and free up our engineers to focus on the right things. To do this effectively, we need a culture of confidence around the code that we take to production. Automation, of course!

What’s your favorite part about the engineering culture (or company culture) at Netlify? Ownership and trust are some of the best features of our culture for me. On top of that, every Netlifolk has an education budget per year to spend on books, courses and webinars to further their professional development.

So-called “tech debt” could amount to more than two thirds of the different types of work an engineer might touch , if you apply the label broadly. Of course all of this work could make up a significant portion of a responsible engineer’s quarter or year. And there is a business need behind each type.

Of course, the reality is more complicated than this simplifying description, but you get the idea. They have a culture of respect for engineers, and of long-term thinking.

I landed deep in the heart of a reasonable engineering culture. And of course, if you’ve really set a firm direction and you know where you are going with the development then the rest of it is just hard work. Early on I moved away from the cowboys. They were driving me nuts. It just causes stupid problems.

Not just because front end engineering has evolved, but I’ve gone from working in a tiny agency, that basically had three people working at it, to a slightly larger agency that had a few more people in it. I think 10,000 or 12,000, working not on engineering, of course, but it’s the biggest company I’ve worked at.
