Building highlight: Our Ethos Embodied in Code

Creating highlight is more than a mission to develop a product; it’s a journey that mirrors our core beliefs and daily practices. Here's a glimpse into the ethos driving our development process and how it's being encapsulated in highlight.

Smart Work Over Hard Work

We believe in working smart, not just hard. Our focus is on the value we create, the problems we solve, and the impact we make. It's about thinking through challenges, seeking advice, and choosing the smartest path to our goals.

Standup to Async: Flexibility in Action

Our day kicks off with an async standup— a quick digital sync-up to share what we've achieved, what’s on the agenda, and any blockers in sight. Post standup, we embrace asynchronous working, granting us the flexibility to design our day in a way that sparks creativity and maintains a healthy work-life balance.

Pairing Up: Collaboration at Its Best

Pair programming isn’t just a practice; it's our way of fostering collaboration, continuous learning, and innovative problem-solving. Whether it's rubber-ducking a problem or walking through unfamiliar code, having a buddy to brainstorm with often leads to those 'aha' moments.

Tools that Sync Our Beats: Shortcut and Slack

We harness tools like Shortcut to keep our project narratives clear and tracked, bridging the loop from ideation to code repositories. And then there’s Slack—our digital hallway for everything from casual chats to urgent updates.

The narrative of building highlight is a tale interwoven with our ethos and daily practices. As we continue this development journey, we're not only excited about the product we're creating but also about the culture and values it represents.
