So far, I'm really enjoying the remote and engineering culture at GitHub. I can see how they've had success with a remote workforce, pretty much EVERYTHING (like, literally everything) is documented and organized for everything. It's awesome.
Additionally, this is the first time I've worked at a company where the team explicitly says, "Nobody really 'owns' a PR or specific feature." It's cool to see somebody open up a PR, get code review from a teammate, and the same teammate can go and make the fixes later on.
This is dope because the two people can be split across timezones, but if one in the UK logs off with a PR open with feedback, somebody in the US can see said feedback, help implement it and get another set of eyes on it, and by the next day it's ready for the author to deploy.
This was really foreign to me and kind of threw me off when I first started, but now I don't really mind it at all. I'm still trying to get rid of my hesitation to push up changes to somebody's branch, but that's just out of habit.
Anyways, I'll probably tweet/talk more about my experiences at the 90 day mark, but so far, so good. 🙌🏿
