Issues + Other Notes
- Jeremy: Size of features are very different
- Some of the items in the engineering complete feel like a lot of overhead for engineering team if it’s like a score algo update or UI change
- Not fan of PRD / C&E brief as default
- Gerald:
- Very important from my point of view: API changes must go through a "Feature launch" and we must align with Daniel
- no changes without consulting devrel first
- Jeremy:
- Small eng effort might be big marketing effort
- Jeremy:
- Every change must be documented on GitHub at minimum
- Daniel:
- How can we make sure these product details are curated in a low burden way, and in a way that works with our distributed team?
- Async first culture
- Erich:
- We deploy new things to staging.passport.gitcoin.co on early morning Europe time Monday, and push to prod on Wednesday
- we can test on review environment earlier
- Jeremy: The more people playing and testing with staging and review the better, we'll be WAY more likely to catch things!
