We are a team

Let's work together

Nothing here is set-in-stone

Just a starting point

Everyone has value, EVERYONE

- Created by Team R3

Don't reinvent the wheel

• Open-source >> COTS/GOTS
  • If we're looking to modify a library for our needs, then look for MIT/LGPL/BSD or other non-copyleft licenses
• Use dev style guides from industry-leaders
  • http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
  • https://github.com/airbnb/javascript
  • https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javaguide.html
  • https://github.com/styleguide/css
• Trying switching mindset from "I can build this" to "Someone has already built this, I should use it"

General Mantas

• Self-improvement/constant learning is key
• Minimum-viable product
  • Extraneous features == bad
  • Focus on core-value of what you're creating
• User interfaces/experience is key to adoption
• Programmatic interfaces should be as clean/easy-to-understand as user interfaces
• API-first
• Continuous Integration is a must
• Pair whenever necessary
• Code reviews!
• Ask questions!
  • No reason to spin trying to always find your own answers

TODOs

• Need closer relationship with OCIO and ISPs
  • Bi-directional education needed/shared on lengthy SWAP/Whitelist process
  • Be in-tune with patching schedules, and hopefully patch details (possible side-effects)
• Shoot for cloud environment for R3 ops
  • Single application per VM
• Eventual (hopefully) move to using DevOps tools (Chef/Puppet) as the norm for deployment
• Investigate use of NOW environment
