Our Culture

We pride ourselves on creating an environment where teammates can focus on what they love, what they are great at vs filling calendars with meetings.

Our Philosophy of Software Engineering

First Principles:

1. All software becomes technical debt at some point in the future.

2. The primary goal of Matey Software Culture is to push that future as far away from the present as possible.

3. Software Estimation is a Failed Art. There are no success stories, even with the most meticulous of planners (e.g., the US DoD, etc.)

4. The only way to accurately estimate is to exponentially increase estimated time.

5. The longer the time it takes to deliver a product, the higher the probability that the requirements change.

6. This decreases the accuracy of the estimates exponentially further.

7. The expense (time or money) of a thing will naturally expand to fit (exceed by 20%) the amount of time (or money) budgeted for a given outcome.

8. If you budget $1000 for something, plan to spend $1200 to avoid disappointment.

9. If you budget 3 weeks for something, plan to wait 4 weeks to avoid disappointment.

10. The Features/Cost/Time Triangle remains Undefeated.

11. And the nature of our business is that we've chosen 2 already (Features, Cost).
