“A over B” means while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
Solution over Technology
We should approach to solve the problems rather than depending on technologies. The technology limitation should not our excuse to reduce the quality of the feature.
For example, we’re strong at React, but we are willing to learn a new framework Meteor due to customer needs.
We are software engineers, we are good at problem-solving. Technologies are our toolbox.
Contribution over Complaint
When we encounter and find pain-in-the-ass issues such as lacking documentation, old frameworks/libs, lacking testing, etc.. we try our best to resolve them!
Refer to The Boy Scout Rule:
“Always leave the campground cleaner than you found it.”
Collaboration over Following
Sometimes you even need to consult customers to bring great customer value rather than always follow the provided requirements.
