Collaboration Practice

We believe that machine learning is a team sport so we value collaboration. Our best practices include the following:

  • Written Design Docs/RFCs for larger initiatives
  • Daily standups (expect  “No-meeting Fridays”)
  • Bi-weekly grooming & planning
  • Sprint retrospective and demos (agile methodologies)
  • Pair programming
  • Peer level 1:1s
  • Quarterly voluntary in-person collaboration (usually somewhere fun and new each time!)
