Building a Community

Socio-technical and Technical aspects.

Management, collaborative use of Git and GitHub, Code Reviews and Pair
Programming.
- Most projects involve working together.
- Most people produce better code and enjoy work more when they work
with others.
- Logistics, decision-making and communication all can negatively
impact your ability to work effectively
- Egos can be a significant problem. Strive to be an egoless
programmer.
- Social aspects of collaboration such as inclusivity, conduct and
attitudes contribute significantly to how effective and enjoyable work
will be.
- Technology can augment collaboration, but it is not a replacement
for clear communication.
- Make use of the diverse experience on your team. Different technical
skills make a well-rounded team and is a great opportunity for
collaboration.
