The Hacker Way is an approach to building that involves continuous improvement and iteration. Hackers believe that something can always be better, and that nothing is ever complete. They just have to go fix it — often in the face of people who say it’s impossible or are content with the status quo.
We have the words “Done is better than perfect” painted on our walls to remind ourselves to always keep shipping.
Focus on Impact:
Move Fast:
Be Bold:
Be Open:
We believe that a more open world is a better world because people with more information can make better decisions and have a greater impact.
Build Social Value:
Instead of debating for days whether a new idea is possible or what the best way to build something is, hackers would rather just prototype something and see what works." This is an important lesson for us to heed in educational institutions, I'd argue, although I'm certain it's not one that a lot of folks want to hear.
