I will never stop learning. I believe in the power of self-learning and learning by doing. I believe what you learn is always greater than what you know.
I believe coding and creating products is an art and real artists ship. I believe perfect is the enemy of good. I believe a working product is the primary measure of progress. I will embrace thinking outside the box and I know there’s no such thing as a status quo. I believe the outcome matters more than the process, working hours, or being in the office.
I believe in the power of ideas. I will value simplicity, impact, and efficiency above all else. I will build our business sustainably through passionate and loyal customers. I am in a marathon, not a sprint, and no matter how far away the goal is, the only way to get there is by putting one foot in front of another every day. Given time, there is no insurmountable problem.
I will make a dent in IT history by changing the way people work with data. I believe for a product to be impactful, it should be a platform for its users’ success. I am more motivated by impact than money. I will communicate as much as possible because it’s the oxygen of a distributed company.
I will never pass up an opportunity to help out a colleague, and I’ll remember the days before I knew everything. I won’t just work on things that are assigned to me. I won’t put off until tomorrow what I can do today. I believe people’s skills and creativity always matter more than their certifications. I will contribute and give back to communities, more than I took from them.
