4/11/2023 0 Comments Briqs open![]() ![]() With the briqs we get, we are then able to buy things on a dedicated e-shop (handled by ourselves), such as personal professional growth tools, or even a trip to another AB Tasty location around the globe. There are many ways to thank an employee for their hard work and great behavior, and we use Briq to do so, which is our awesome tool to share the team spirit and reward each other for what we love about the other great people in the AB Tasty community!īriqs are a virtual currency that employees send to each other and redeem for items.Įach one of us is granted with the mission of showing our teammates they matter, celebrating every single victory and making our values and spirit live on a daily basis.Īs stated above, the purpose is simply to give love and “reward” our colleagues everyday using Slack. We continue to look for new ways to share knowledge and explore new ways to open up our expertise to our team members and the broader data community.At AB Tasty, we bring forth and celebrate each other’s cultures in both the workplace and work process because we value our collaborators, and we want to make them aware of it. As 99% of the code we write interacts with Open Source Software, we would be nowhere without it. Since its foundation in 2016, Dataroots has always pulled the card of FOSS, not only at a company level but also with our developers. On top of that, potential hires also see the quantity and quality of contributions being made by Dataroots so the Open Source philosophy is even beneficial for recruitment. It is a way to build our reputation in the developer community where transparency and the concept of giving is rewarded. Moreover, these are proof points of expertise, not only for developers individually but also for the company they work for. So even without officially working with Dataroots, potential clients and even competitors use your work to solve problems. ![]() It feels good knowing that many data professionals and companies from around the world use your contributions in their environments, or that your line of code was the missing piece of someone's puzzle. ![]() Contributing to FOSS is even one of the official ways to raise our team-wide bonus and on our Slack channels, we can use our custom currency Briqs to sponsor Open Source projects. On our GitHub you will for example find a module to set up a data pipeline in minutes, but also a fun application to measure coffee consumption using a Raspberry Pi. The possibilities in terms of the type of projects are endless but there is one fixed condition: whatever we make, it must be made open source. We even have different guilds on data engineering or machine learning to work together and share knowledge. This is our applied R&D laboratory where we are able to work on all code and data related experiments in the form of side projects, tools and solutions. Experimentation and researchĭataroots invests 10% of all revenue yearly into applied R&D under the flag of ‘Dataroots Research’. It does not take a lot of time to push pieces of code to GitHub or other public forums and we are explicitly incentivised to do so. When we solve a problem, the solution is shared so other people can benefit from it, which ultimately stimulates innovation in our field. We ask them questions, implement their feedback and ultimately, we give back. This means we often interact with the developer community and the creators of certain tools or solutions. We create a great number of Open Source solutions in and outside the context of the tailored solutions for our clients. But what exactly do you gain by working with Free Open Source Software (FOSS), how can it possibly be better than holding all the cards and how does a data company like ours embed FOSS in its core business? Culture of giving We challenge anyone to execute a software project without the use of a single Open Source building block. There is no getting around its use, even for those electing to work as closed source as possible. Essential ingredientįree Open Source Software (FOSS) is an essential ingredient in our kitchen at Dataroots. Let’s have a look at a couple of examples of why and where Open Source proves its value in our day-to-day business. These contemplations are often pronounced by people outside or not familiar with software development. Why would the chef give away the recipes for the dishes he is famous for? What does the engineer achieve from sharing his schematics for that new technological marvel? Working open source is like sharing your secrets. ![]()
