I agree with these - 1.) Lone wolf syndrome 2.) Look for the line at your door Have experienced these - 1.) Ask for forgiveness, not for permission 2.) (Most) Screw ups are OK Couldn't agree more - 1.) Code is king 2.) Don’t be an asshole<p>I see your point, on the below, but kinda disagree - 1.) New team? Pick people over products - Would be difficult for me to be passionate about something if I don't like what I'm working on. And product would most likely bring out the passion. If the people in that team are not what I'd like, well, so what, dive in, lets see if it can be cleaned on the way.
