Topics Discussed in Kickoff Meeting

[bcoe]

Here are some of the chapter topics we discussed during our kick off meeting:

Teaching (modern approaches to learning software development).

• https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS
• https://egghead.io/instructors/kentcdodds
• https://generalassemb.ly/education/software-engineering-immersive/san-francisco
• https://github.com/nodeschool
• FreeCodeCamp

Methodologies

• https://semver.org/
• https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0-beta.4/
• https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/
• https://gist.github.com/substack/5075355
• Documentation & Knowledge Sharing (what makes good documentation, how do people write modern documentation?).
• Standards bodies in general (TC39, WHATWG, etc.) do folks actually read specs? should they?
• Dotfiles / environments (spoiler, not something I've ever put a lot of time into, curious to hear both sides, constant noodling, vs., boring configuration).

The Modern Workplace

• remote work (benefits, how to get remote work, how to stay social).
• distributed, chat-centric, workplaces.

@ahmadnassri @getify how do we feel about doing a bit more work trying to categorize these topics (fleshing out some that we're likely missing, and cutting a few) and then perhaps start pulling it into a rough outline in README.md?
