Cooking up a culture of continuous learning
Another DirectorPlus edition is out! For this one, I synced with Rod Garcia, VP of Engineering at Slack, for a tasty look at continuous learning.
🧑🍳 Ok, put your aprons on, because today's edition of DirectorPlus is for all you software engineering cooks out there.
Just like cooking the perfect pizza pie, with software engineering, you experiment to get the right recipe and variables and then execute it every time. Hopefully, with delicious results. 🍕
To achieve this, Garcia shared with me how he's actively encouraging continuous learning within Slack’s super collaborative culture — it's a combination of de-siloing teams, inner-sourcing knowledge, dogfooding tools, and the occasional book club.
