#engineering-culture

A little bit about myself. In my previous life, I was staff platform engineering. I focused a lot of development engineering and everything that basically was the sociotechnical aspect of our technical work. I recently was working as a CTO and co-founder of a startup, and nowadays I'm just doing advisory roles and a little bit of consulting while trying to think about the next big thing. Yes, so happy to be talking with you, Shane.

So, I am a mother. I'm a psychologist. I'm co-founder of Bravely. I'm a wife. I'm an enthusiastic marathon and high rocks athletes. I'm a friend to an awesome bunch of people and I'm very passionate about making people more aware of how they can communicate more easily and make their life in the lives of those around them much more easy.

Culture is more about how you act than how you think you act. It is the invisible work that shapes the culture within an organization.

Our job is to prototype new ideas and test viability. If we come across something that looks viable, help it graduate out and become a real GitHub product.

The term 'technical debt' often serves as a convenient label for poor code practices, allowing teams to excuse shortcuts instead of addressing foundational issues.
