learning program

I am big on learnng. I’m learning a lot in my new role. Learning about leadership. Learning abot how to be a better programmer, beteter manager. To that end, I”m going to implement a  few things.

Official learning program

I am going to ask that guys read 1 book every quarter that I pick, and 1-2 that they pick on their own. I want them to review what they learned from the book, or a section of the book if someone already reviewed it. I think this is going to force guys into thinking that learning is required.

Yearly goals

I am going to ask my guys to come up with yearly goals. What do you want to be known as at m6d? What kind of developer you want to be? What reputation do you want to have?

That said, this is also going to affect me. It’s going to affect how I work, but it fits nicely to what we do, how we work, what we want to be known as.
