building good engineering culture w/ chris rathgeb
guest: chris rathgeb, cto at curemit
- build engineering culture by defining clear company values first, then hire people who align with them
- write explicit, detailed definitions of success for each role so people are never blindsided on performance
- hold weekly one on ones and do deeper quarterly reviews that revisit values and role fit
- normalize code review from day one by pairing new engineers with a buddy and having them review pull requests early
- when job hunting, ask how the company actually works day to day and how early engineers get involved in planning
