For a lot of organisations, it's performance review season, and many people don't really understand how the process works beyond "I need to write my review" - I’ve seen the process in many high performing teams, so I wrote my thoughts down a while back. cdoyle.me/demystifying-perfo…

Take it from someone who worked at @SlackHQ for many years. If your channel naming scheme uses underscores instead of hyphens, you’re doing it wrong.
If you don’t even have a channel naming scheme, you’re definitely doing it wrong.

I've worked for companies that have been acquired, ones that did the acquiring, and ones where the leadership has changed overnight. The common thread is that the values evolved.
So when this happens, how do you adapt? Or should you?

For many, it’s the season of performance reviews. I’ve been through these many times, as an employee and as a manager.

Folks who work in Software Engineering, I'm curious what's the best onboarding experience you've ever had at a company in terms of the coding part of your job. Any size is fine, but think of the technical part. I'm not too interested in the "here's how our benefits work" piece.
