Coding Dojo

Coding Dojo

Published July 10, 2019 by Natalie Gerdes

Software developers from Team Jedi share their coding dojo experience based on the book, The Coding Dojo Handbook, by Emily Bache.

“This handbook is a collection of concrete ideas for how you can get started with a Coding Dojo, where a group of programmers can focus on improving their practical coding skills. When you step into the Coding Dojo, you leave your daily programming environment, with all the associated complexities and problems, and enter a safe environment where you can try stuff out, make mistakes and learn with others. It’s a fun and rewarding activity for any bunch of coders!”

This was a panel discussion with some folks from the dev floor about what really matters when it comes to being an awesome place to work. I thought it was fun, interesting and informative. And I believe one of the ideas discussed here has already been tried for a day!

Little Experiments Go a Long Way

Little Experiments Go a Long Way

Published March 4, 2019 by Shane Fitch

Experimentation doesn’t have to mean a big multi-day formal event – our panel talks about how our teams experiment on a daily, informal basis. Hear about experiments that we have run, how to overcome obstacles to experimentation, and find out if there really is such a thing as a failed experiment.

Justin Souders – “We had someone that was very passionate about machine learning… now it’s become a team passion.” Hear how Team Ignite is experimenting to bring ML into their current project.
