We probably have more cross-project collaboration at The Gnar Company than most software agencies. Any pull requests that go up get posted on a pull request channel across the whole team. So even though most of our engineers are fully dedicated to a single project, they’re still seeing code from other work and getting their own code reviewed by others with a fresh perspective. Plus, every few weeks we have “Show the Codes” event. If there’s interest in a certain subject or a particularly interesting project, we throw some code up on the screen during lunch and talk about it. It’s normal to learn and grow based on reps at the individual engineer or even project level, but we think we can get better even faster by creating opportunities to learn at the company level. #softwaredevelopment #codereview #showthecode
This sounds like a smart approach. Rise alone and together. And makes a great way to share knowledge and keep a collective mind on where projects, products, engineering, and the company is going.

3moThis is great. Can you tell me more about the Show the Codes events? We’ve tried that in the past but it faded out for some reason. I’d love to bring it back!
