The Right Way to Ship Software
Jocelyn Goldfein · First Round Review Free Intermediate
Goldfein ran engineering at Facebook and VMware and lays out how release process should change as a team grows from one person to many. She is explicit that the right process for three people is not the right process for three hundred, which is exactly the trap this question is about. Read it to calibrate how little process you actually need at the first-hire stage.
- Match the ceremony to your team size, not to the company you admire
- Add process to solve a real pain you have felt, not one you imagine
- A small team can ship fast and safely with very few rules
