Values in Tech - Just a Buzzword or an Action-Item?
summary
Claims a repeatable Value-Driven Professional Life method that turns nebulous company values into concrete checkpoints: a checklist of measurable signals (peer recognition program example “chills for bills,” cadence of monthly/quarterly self-retrospective, postmortem tone, documentation rate, ratio of maintenance vs new features), exact interview questions — ask "what is success in your book" — and stop/go rules (when collaboration, autonomy or wellbeing are absent). The method is practical and already used by engineers to decide stay versus leave.
