Framework & Environment Choices - Minimize Everything: - don’t Underestimate DevOps work
PROTECT YOURSELF - SIMPLIFY - DRY - ANALYZE - AUTOMATE
- DELETE CODE
What is love (two types)? (positive x-axis)
KNOW YOUR TEAM - What motivates? - What are their
values? - Where are they headed?
TEAMBUILDING - Remote CAN’T EVEN - You are in this
together - SO much time together
