Engineering Principles:
- We solve live merchant problems, before working on future features.
- We design for 20x.
- Think like the merchant and go meet them.
- Push early, pull often.
- We build frameworks when we have at least three use cases.
- We are all designers, architects, coders, testers, security officers and on-call engineers.
- We all make mistakes, we seek help and share as soon as we find out.
- Code and test beyond the happy flow, think about failure scenarios and security.
- A product is only finished when it has a face and is validated with a live customer.
- You own when, where, and how your code goes live.
- Your code should be understandable at 4am under stress.
- We embrace new technology when it has clear benefits.
