About Cronofy Engineering
Our Engineering Principles
How we approach building Cronofy
Complimentary to how we operate as individuals, guided by our company principles, is the way we build Cronofy itself.
These are the principles we use when making the day-to-day decisions about Cronofy's Scheduling Platform.
Never gonna let you down
Customers are putting their time in our hands. We honor that by building a secure, stable platform that they can rely on and is respectful of their privacy.
Big impact without a big bang
We're breaking new ground. There's often not a known playbook for us to follow.
To minimize wasted time and reduce risk we break our work into small, frequently deployed chunks which teach us more about our domain. As we learn more, we can have more confidence about the areas that deserve further investment.
Team work makes the dream work
Nothing is developed in a vacuum. We work in the open with our fellow engineers, our customers, product, sales, marketing, and support to develop the right features, at the right time, communicated in the right way.
No known bugs
To maintain speed we fix bugs as they are found, and prevent their return through automated tests. Bugs are ballast that slows us down. We carry bugs for as short a time as we can so we're always building on solid ground.
Delight our future selves
We focus on our immediate needs but we keep the wider picture of what we expect to be building later in mind.
When there's a choice to be made we don't shy from the hard path. Instead, we choose the route that makes future enhancements easier.
