🪓

14. Be Brave & Aggressive

Viking Laws inspired
  • Be direct in communication — merge conflicts are for Git, not humans.
  • Grab opportunities before they timeout.
  • Attack one bug at a time.
  • Be agile (spirit, not just Jira).
  • Don't over-plan; ship and iterate.
🛡️

15. Be Prepared

Viking Laws inspired
  • Keep code, gear, and soul in good condition.
  • Stay in shape — commits need oxygen.
  • Find solid comrades — trust coverage > test coverage.
  • Agree on key decisions before the storm — debugging in a hurricane is bad UX.
  • Choose one chief (slightly chaotic is fine).
⚖️

16. Be a Good Merchant

Viking Laws inspired
  • Know real value — no snake oil.
  • Promise only what sunrise can deliver.
  • Don't overcharge — karma audits.
  • Make trades people want to repeat.

17. Keep the Camp in Order

Viking Laws inspired
  • Keep the camp tidy and clean --> they reboot faster and keeps system state stable.
  • Label yer stuff; future-you is confused easily.
  • Schedule one joyful nonsense ritual daily.
  • Everybody does useful work — dancing counts.
  • Consult the group before big deploys.
🧑‍🤝‍🧑

18. Be a Good Ally

Viking Laws inspired
  • Consent in hugs, code, collabs.
  • Include the quiet ones — legends compile silently.
  • Backup friends like redundant storage.
  • Hold space, not judgment.
  • Share your best methods + rubber ducks for debugging sessions.
🏴‍☠️

19. Seek Glory, Not Credit

Viking Laws inspired
  • Let results sing your name.
  • Let others shine; shared light travels farther.
  • Open-source wisdom; never gatekeep.
  • Praise loudly, critique gently, meme respectfully.
  • Egos sink longships faster than storms.
