Build a Team that Ships (2012)
Where are the companies that try to make their employees better? As someone who is an employed software developer, but has never been confused for a rockstar coding ninja, things like this hit me emotionally when I read them.This might not be the smartest thing to put onto the internet, but I'm not someone who comes in guns a-blazing and ships dozens of features my first week. Or do I ever get to a high velocity. Would I like to? Sure. But that's not where I am at now.So, a lot of companies talk like this. I suspect this is like baseball before Moneyball -- what if you can get people who are undervalued and make them better? What companies are doing that? Or even, how does one do that on their own?
