I'm pretty excited about this site's potential. I am avid promoter of creating autonomous teams through principles and goals alignment (OKR). I think there were suggestions about Time being an aspect of a principle. I wonder if this would be better represented by the SDLC stages, something like this might address the "time" part that allows it to be associated with type of work being done. Just a thought. I also wonder, at the same time, if this is too burdensome for a team or individual to do. Establishing your principles, IMHO, should be the most important thing you do, if you use them to guide your behavior. I also have hope that when people establish what their individual principles (that define them) they then can ensure when they are job hunting or self reflecting on their current job that they what they are doing is aligned with who they are to ensure they will be satisfied in that role/job/company. I just bookmarked the site. Excited to see this grow. |

On the SDLC, it could work. The temporal aspect is something I need to think through in a way that's not too complicated. Getting feedback at this stage is beneficial, even if this hit HN a lot earlier than I was expecting.
Establishing your own principles is burdensome, but using others is not. Having access to everyone else's principles and being able to see what other successful teams use, makes it easy to take other people's capability and add it to your own. Imagine if you could see what principles Rob Pike or <insert favorite programmer uses> or the principles behind a library, framework or a particularly productive team? This gets me excited. It gives people the building blocks to make great things.
I totally agree that individual principles is extremely important. If not for the very fact that finding and being on aligned teams is an amazing experience for everyone involved. Happier, more productive teams.
I would love to have an informal chat with you, you get what I'm doing and it needs people like you to for this to succeed for the community. Drop me an email if you can take me up on the offer :)
