Hmm…I think about "best" and how subjective that is.

For myself, the "best" company is one that I get to be my whole self. And knowing me, the larger the company, the less likely it would be the "best" for me.

So I would rephrase this a bit: "What attributes do you think make a company the best for a developer at?"

My answer to that is:

  • Espoused values and values in action (mostly) align with my values
  • Opportunities to flex and grow; to "try something" and have space to "softly land" but also reflect and help try again
  • Employees, develops, and advances a plurality of folks because mono-cultures are both unsustainable, boring, and just plain ugly.
