Guiding Principles

Similarly to fashion, code style reflects our credo as developers, our values and philosophy.

But I believe the core philosophy of tiny modules is actually sound and easier to maintain than giant frameworks.

Besides running contrary to the principles that lead a lot of people to Linux systems (a closed store that you can't alter...automatic updates you have no control over....run by just the one company)

“Simplicity in all we do” is one of the core values at DigitalOcean. This includes all aspects of our product portfolio: UX, API, CLI, docs, billing, and pricing.

For my point of view, and I've been annoyingly consistent in this for as long as people have been asking for this feature or something like it, style encapsulation is one of the core principles of Svelte's component model and this feature fundamentally breaks that. It would be too easy for people to use this feature and it would definitely get abused removing the style safety that Svelte previously provided.

We value results, transparency, sharing, freedom, efficiency, self-learning, frugality, collaboration, directness, kindness, diversity and inclusion, boring solutions, and quirkiness. If these values match your personality, work ethic, and personal goals, we encourage you to visit our primer to learn more. Open source is our culture, our way of life, our story, and what makes us truly unique.

“In the end, GDPR is all about consent and it’s an approach to privacy that is very European,” said Kagan. “That’s not a mistake. It’s a values statement.”

our values remain the same – advocating for 100% data ownership, respecting user-privacy, being reliable and encouraging people to stay secure. Complete analytics, that’s 100% yours.

People believe in us for that reason, and we will continue to champion the right for people to be in control of their data.

We hire and reward employees based on our shared values as detailed on this page. We want a values fit, not a culture fit.
