• Start with the User
• Listen to Problems, not Solutions
• Pay Attention to Data
• Live Out Loud
• Foster Diversity
• Experiment Often, Fail Fast
• Let Engineers Find their Passion
• Chaos Breeds Creativity

2. Share whatever you can
3. You're brilliant, we're hiring
4. A license to pursue dreams
5. Innovation, not instant perfection
6. Don't politic, use Data
7. Creativity loves constraint
8. Users not Money
9. Don't kill projects morph them
