We want to build a working environment where everyone trusts each other in getting our works done and bring problems on the table when they exist. Our team should not be constantly worry about others backstabbing each other or people constantly micromanaging what they are doing daily. So having basic trust of each other is crucial to our team. Note that trust is typically earned over the course of time. We don’t expect everyone to fully trust each other on day 1. But we want people to always assume good intent when starting working with each other. Our energy should not be spent on worried about the repercussion of telling the team the truth, admit mistakes, or anything that is meant to make the team better.
我们希望建立一个工作环境，让每个人都互相信任来完成我们的工作，并在出现问题时将其提出来。我们的团队不应该总是担心其他人互相背后捅刀子，或者人们不断地对他们每天所做的事情进行微观管理。因此，彼此之间拥有基本的信任对我们的团队至关重要。请注意，信任通常是随着时间的推移而赢得的。我们并不期望每个人在第一天就完全信任彼此。但我们希望人们在开始相互合作时始终对其他人的行为假设善意。我们的精力不应该花在担心告诉团队真相、承认错误或任何旨在让团队变得更好的事情的后果上。
To enable highly efficient working environment, we promote transparency across our teams. If you have doubts on certain decisions are made, it is okay to bring it up, question it, debate it. At our current team size, we can spend a reasonable amount of time to share the details and reasons behind our decisions so the whole team is onboard with what we are trying to do. Do note that being transparent does not mean there’s no privacy. A quick example is, I will never share people’s salary with others. But that is something others would like to do so themselves with others, you are free to do so. At the current size of our team, we practice open retrospects. If anyone of us make a mistake, we’d prefer to share that with everyone in a team setting so everyone gets to learn from it. The expectation for everyone here is not to take that as a public humiliation as that is usually how people feel. We do such practice so that we as a team can learn and move forward efficiently without repeating mistakes. If in the future our team do expand and you find this practice not ideal in your respective team, you are welcome to adapt to your team dynamic as needed.
为了创造高效的工作环境，我们提高团队的透明度。如果你对某些决定有疑问，可以提出、质疑、辩论。按照我们目前的团队规模，我们可以花合理的时间来分享我们决策背后的细节和原因，以便整个团队都参与我们正在努力做的事情。请注意，透明并不意味着没有隐私。举个简单的例子，我们永远不会与别人分享别人的工资。但如果别人愿意，你可以自由地这样做。以我们团队目前的规模，我们实行开放式回顾。如果我们中的任何人犯了错误，我们更愿意在队员都在的情况下与团队的大家分享，以便每个人都能从中吸取教训。我们这么做的原因并不是将其视为公开羞辱。我们这么做是为了让我们作为一个团队能够有效地学习和前进，而不会重复错误。如果将来我们的团队确实扩大，而你发现这种做法在你各自的团队中并不合适，你可以根据团队动态来改变这种方式。
此处英文脏字可以理解为：把事情他妈的做好。
With all the trust and transparency, our team still cannot thrive if we consistently failing to deliver. I have listed skills and other factors not as high as trust and transparency, anyone who successfully passed our interviews had reached certain skill bars in the team. So we are expected to execute with what we have and deliver anything our customers ask us to. If we fail to get shit done, our team will not last long and there won’t be any consistent customers in the future. But always remember, you are not on your own. We are a team. So if you face any issues or blockers, ask them in our team chat and we will figure it out together. If there’s a technical blocker we cannot solve, we can always look at alternative routes. But delaying communication and risking our customer project progress will not be taken lightly. So communicate thoroughly and frequently.
尽管我们充满信任和透明度，但如果我们始终未能交付成果，我们的团队仍然无法蓬勃发展。我曾经指出的技能和其他因素不如信任和透明度重要度那么高。但是任何成功通过我们面试的人都达到一定的技能水准。所以并不是技术不重要，而是我们相信成功进入队伍的队员在技术上已经到达了我们需要的水平。在这样的技术水平上，我们应该用我们现有的资源来执行并交付客户要求我们做的任何事情。如果我们做不好，我们的团队就撑不了多久，未来也不会有稳定的客户。但永远记住，你不是一个人。我们是一个团队。因此，如果你遇到任何问题或障碍，请在我们的团队聊天中询问大家，我们将共同解决。如果存在我们无法解决的技术障碍，我们总是可以寻找替代路线。但拖延沟通并给我们的客户项目进度带来风险我们也会严肃处理。因此，要充分、频繁地进行沟通。
