One small milestone crossed last month. In our 7th year, we are now a team of more than 700 happy clean coders and designers. Congratulations team. Let's celebrate the milestone without any pressure, no targets or rates that we need to achieve. Let us enjoy the journey!

A walk-through of @coditasHQ offices. With a greater emphasis on learning for the team, in the new offices, we now have classrooms as well.

“I don’t care how many hours you work, as long as you get the work done”, is a big trap! It may give a false sense of freedom and flexibility, but the reality is usually different. In most setups with this philosophy, the work never gets ‘done’.

@RamSuby Yes

We crossed $20 million ARR last month (currently 21+).  We continue being self funded and profitable. We operate with an ideal work-life balance, without any late night or weekend work for anyone. There are no extra working hours using terms like ‘entrepreneurship’, ‘growth’..

When everything is on top priority, nothing is on priority.

2009, I was laid off 2021, we employ 600 Believe in yourself You can do it

Coditas crossed 10 crores in monthly revenues in August.  We continue to be profitable with no debts and zero funding.  In the past, I have also incorrectly said no investors.  I will myself; we do have investors.  Our team!  Investing the most valuable asset, their time.

If the founder or your manager is putting in extra hours, that in no way obligates you to put in the extra hours. Their potential rewards are on very different scales. Go beyond the call of duty only if you want to.

@DograPratham Not true for good coders. The demand is far higher than the supply.

Please stop normalizing long working hours by calling it start-up culture.

Yes, you often need luck but do remember that even the lottery winner took the first step in buying the ticket.

YZ: People believe covid is gone! ME: What happened? YZ: The whole city was at the mall! ME: How do you know? YZ: I was there Me: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ever heard about a linked list developer? What about a blockchain developer?

@TonyBologni I was trying to be generic about projects in general. Resources could be beyond people and hence used resources. I too do not like using the term resources for people.

@mitulbid And as adding ppl. (could WE stop using „resources“, please) makes it only later, as we know: The only way to deliver earlier is reducing the scope.

A project’s timeline is a function of scope and available resources. To reduce the timeline, you need to increase the resources or/and reduce the scope. Business or client needs it earlier is not a logical answer!

@christianhujer Agreed. I oversimplified the point to drive home a different point.

@mitulbid I'm afraid it's even more complicated. The productivity of a team is simply a linear function of its size. The communication overhead has quadratic growth: n * (n - 1) / 2. This overhead is significant.
