Core Values

[cfarm]

We created some core values a while back and I request that we spend some time reviewing these at an upcoming FEWD meeting - not to change them, but to remember them.

Ideas on how exactly to do this?

It'd be cool to do an activity where we brainstorm/share (semi-anonymously?) ways in which the work we do every day relates to these values. It'd also be worth reflecting on if there are things we do that contradict these values.

Love this idea.

I've done things like this in the past using sticky notes (we did something similar during immersion). I'd be happy to facilitate something similar (and remote friendly) if folks found that to be a valuable activity.

I would suggest trimming it down to at most 5. Also define behaviors that exemplify the core values.

👏 👏 👏

Thinking about the core values from a habit perspective:

1. Talk about them constantly. In meetings, pull requests, etc.
2. to @imuchnik's point about defining behaviors that exemplify core values, acknowledge those behaviors constantly.

It's also worth noting that these are and have been the entire development team's core values, we just thought it was worthwhile putting them front and center here to show what we're all about.

Maybe this should be something we do with the entire dev team? I'm thinking Dev CoP instead of a FEWD meeting. What do you think @cfarm?
