Keynote: Coding Culture
summary
Atlassian describes specific culture moves: quarterly 24‑hour hackathons called ShipIt that produce working prototypes (one used Google Translate), an iPad Mood App that captures daily happiness, and a Bitbucket add‑on suggested reviewers that chooses reviewers by file history. Teams target 6–8 people, coordinate across ~15 JIRA teams, and use autonomy + trust + transparency instead of heavy process. Engineering rules include “don’t write crappy code,” balance customer personas (Emma/William), and measure happiness frequently so problems surface and get fixed quickly.
