Development at Zeffy:

At Zeffy, we believe in a core set of principles that guide our development practices:

✅ Done is better than perfect: We focus on delivering functional, valuable features efficiently rather than aiming for unattainable perfection.

✅ Autonomy and collaboration: While you’ll have autonomy in your work, collaboration across teams ensures the best outcomes.

✅ Security and scalability: We prioritize secure and scalable solutions to protect donor data and support our growing user base.

✅ Continuous improvement: We regularly review and refine our processes, promoting a culture of learning and growth.

🚫 We avoid YAGNI (“You Ain’t Gonna Need It”): We resist the temptation to over-engineer or build features that aren’t necessary, keeping our codebase lean and efficient.
