How we work at reinteractive
2015 community development dev hub installfest learning management personnel rails girls Remote WorkWhile growing reinteractive I have been asked many times how we operate. I've been asked this by prospective clients and by prospective staff. I thought it would make sense to write up a blog post covering the key points on how our developers and team work at reinteractive and what parts of our development process are important to us.
Having our entire team work remotely is a strong management point for us. Our remote team encourages focused work without the large distractions of an office environment. Of course, this means that you can't shout a question across the office, or go and interrupt another team member, we see this as a good thing. However, team communication matters so we have numerous Flowdock channels to communicate on each project. This has the added advantage of information being recorded, allowing for any team member to "get up to speed" on what is happening after a short absence by reading the log of what has been said.
Announcing the reinteractive Apprenticeship Programme
2014 community development dev hub installfest rails girlsOver the past year and a half, our InstallFest initiative has introduced more than 600 developers to Ruby on Rails. These developers have been able to move onto Development Hub, but we feel there is a gap. If you look at the job boards, there are a lot of opportunities for mid to senior level Rails developers, but a scarcity of junior level positions.
This presents a problem, how do we take these awesome beginning developers and build them into mid to senior level develops to grow our community? And how to do this efficiently?
What I took out of RubyConf AU
2014 community dev hub installfest rails girlsLast week our team were lucky enough to attend the second Ruby Conference held in Australia. As a new comer to the Community over the last year and as the Community Manager here at reInteractive, I thought I’d share my take on what I got out of last week’s talks and events.
Felix talked about how helping others learn will actually help you improve your own code. You don’t truly understand something until you can explain it simply and clearly to others. This is very true and something I think all professional developers and new developers alike can take from this. Go out and pair with others, your knowledge will grow exponentially just from talking about concepts with others.
When students become teachers
2014 community dev hub installfest learningHere at reInteractive we’ve been running some Community initiatives in Sydney, Melbourne and even Singapore over the last year. We began our Ruby on Rails InstallFest last year in April, an evening where we get your laptop setup with a development environment and help you get your very first Ruby on Rails application live on the internet through our tutorial guides. We provide free pizza and drinks, while our reInteractive Developers and some awesome professionals from the Community give their time to help mentor new developers and get them started.
Because of the huge ongoing demand for our InstallFest, we began running our Development Hub event in Sydney. This event is an opportunity for anyone, no matter their Ruby and Rails experience to come along and continue on with our tutorial guides, or code on anything they like. Once again we provide some food, and some awesome mentors in the Community are around to give anyone a hand.
