This is the story of our endless journey to achieve maintainable code, while working in a startup-like organization with a strong focus on culture.
This culture encourages and enables us to be more agile in creating production code and to react faster to uncertain business needs.
Naturally, this implies the need for highly maintainable code, which is a challenge in itself, especially in a rapid growth phase of our investment product –
june.dk.
In addition, to make things more complicated… we are a cross-border team scattered between two countries, Denmark and Lithuania.
One could say that the last part is the most peculiar, as cultural and multi-site differences impact every minute of our job way more than anybody expected in the beginning.
So this is the story of what we’ve learned while trying to tackle the challenges of becoming a mature and efficient team while having fun along the way.
