Culture lessons from GitHub with Scott Chacon
If there's one thing you can't fake, it's your company culture. All great startups rely on it: a common understanding of how to do things, what success means, and how you promote it. But culture comes in many forms. There's no right or wrong. It's up to you, founders, to pave the way ;) Over the years, many startups have come up with their own philosophies that have shaken our perception of what a working environment can look like. GitHub is a well-known illustration of this. They managed to grow explosively while retaining a very lose organisation, embracing flat-hierarchy and remote work. As one of GitHub's Co-founder, Scott shares how that played out and how he's transferred these lessons to his new venture, Chatterbug, a adaptive solution to master language skills.
