Communication
Engineering communication at BWRGY is async-first, documented, and minimal.
Core Practices
- MR discussions stay in the MR: Use comments and threads to capture all decisions and changes.
- Project-wide updates via Element: Use the
Team: Devroom for updates, questions, and async check-ins. - Fortnightly engineering calls: Used for check-ins, blockers, or architectural discussions that require live input.
- Write before you speak: Prefer documenting your thoughts over unscheduled pings.

Expectations
