Confreaks

Hashrocket began as a small four person shop aiming to build products and get rich doing the same. Something happened along the way and we wound up with a small-ish principled consultancy that works hard and plays harder. Listen in as we share how we keep the culture, quality, and cohesive bond that makes us love working together and pushing each other to become better.

We will cover hiring, communications, methodology, environment, culture, and community: - Hiring: getting the right people is critical to building an awesome team - Communications: openness and transparency are essential to keeping focus and attitude - Methodology: being Agile takes discipline and practice. It requires more than desire and reading a book - Environment: being in an environment that is pleasant and enjoyable enhances productivity - Culture: a shared set of values builds and keeps the team bonded - Community: you are not isolated, participation and giving back are core values of the large Ruby/Rails and OS community
