Culture

We're a platform to empower

We believe that growth comes through experience. talPor should, above all else, be a place where everyone comes to learn. This can be a tool, a community, or just another job. You decide what to make it.

The guiding principles

We function as a multi-disciplinary, distributed team. We tend to work in small teams — generally by project — which support and collaborate with each other. These guiding principles are the core of our philosophy. Embrace them, and put them into practice.

Do not be afraid to make mistakes

Mistakes happen. You will over- or under-estimate that feature. You will completely misunderstand your client. You will break a build for everyone in your team. It happens, and it will happen again. The whole point of this philosophy is to minimize the number of times it does.

Always try to do your best

Whether you have done it a million times or are just joining to hotfix an annoying problem, always make solid decisions. Take that extra time to first understand the requirements, then build or fix whatever needs fixing as best as you possibly can.

Ask for help

We are a small team, always ready to help when needed. Don't be afraid to ask if someone has done this or that. Don't be afraid to say you don't know the answer. Likewise, offer your help or advice when you do know what is going on.

Never take it personally

The feature branch you poured yourself into may not make it to production. Your code may make the wrong assumptions. You may be told you are doing it wrong. You are not what you code or what you design, and you are not the project you are on.

Be impeccable with your words

Words are much more than phrases coming out of your mouth — they carry emotions, actions, thoughts, and attitudes. Express yourself with integrity, say what you mean, and keep jealousy, frustration, fear, and anger out of your word. We respect each other’s ideas and thoughts.

Don't make assumptions

When working in teams, communication is fundamental. You cannot assume what others think, so being a little verbose is not that bad. Misunderstandings occur — you may end up not deploying something to production because you assumed someone else would.
