Institutional Knowledge

An amazing wrap-up from one of the guys who left parrot.

1. Don’t confuse motion for progress.
2. Don’t undermine your own authority.
3. If you have authority, don’t shy away from using it where appropriate.
4. If you expect professional behaviour you’ll get it, so expect it all around.
5. The easier you make it to do things the more people will be able to do
6. Be open and above-board always. If you’re embarrassed to do so because of what’s going on, that’s a sign of a big problem.
7. It’s only software and not worth your life.
8. People suck. Deal. (And never forget that you’re people too)
