A list of peer 1-1 questions

Summary

As a remote employee, I understand that there is a potential for in-office employees to misunderstand my intent as written communication has no body language or nuance of how a thing is verbally said.

With that said, the following questions are aimed at helping remote/in-office peers smooth out any misunderstandings between them so that they can work effectively together with a goal of seeking good will towards each other and assuming good intent from each other. It requires each participant to be clear and honest during the conversation.

Questions

  • Have I communicated anything that rubbed you the wrong way? If so:
    • what was it?
  • how did it make you feel?

The rubric we're using to determine if we should switch to litcoffee
1. How will it help devs fresh to the project to ramp up quickly?
2. How painful is it to keep the documentation up to date?
3. How much friction is added to writing and reading existing source code?

A proposed code of conduct for code reviews. I think it would help us maintain our team culture when our team grows so that new team members know what we expect and it can also serve as a reminder to us how we want to operate.

  1. Show appreciation that someone took time/energy to do submit the CR.
  2. Keep criticism constructive.
  3. No ad hominems.
  4. When you disagree, view it as a teaching moment. Seek to understand rather than only prove yourself right. You might be wrong.
  5. View constructive criticism as a benefit. You get to level up your skills!

weiser / bigtop-detect-java-home.patch
Created August 14, 2014 22:52
Patch for https://jira.kiji.org/browse/REST-151
From 3beb93369a5557823cffb80494ed43434f4df20d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: David Weiser <davidann@moz.com>
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 10:04:41 -0700
Subject: [PATCH] Use Bigtop to detect $JAVA_HOME
`service` clears most environment variables (see `man service`) so $JAVA_HOME is not set in
kiji-rest.initd. And, because $JAVA_HOME isn't set, I can't run this program via `service`.
This sets $JAVA_HOME if Bigtop is present.
