Updating company values

Warren Gifford requested to merge cf/values into main

Created by: christinaforney

@nicksnyder and I felt that there was a gap in our values that would help with hiring decisions, growth conversations, process decisions, and more. We also felt that a short, clear list of values would help more clearly communicate the values in a way that can be digested and remembered. The details are valuable for clarifying the shorter list and adding more color to what this means to us but isn't necessary for communicating the high level understanding of values.

The newly added values have empty sub-sections and TO DOs. I propose we merge as is, and can follow up with additional explanations.

Specifically, we have tweaked two of the existing values:

  • 'We not I' -> 'Work as a team'
  • 'High quality' -> 'Be iterative' - this was sending the wrong message (as indicated by the need to clarify in company meeting). Instead, what we value is being iterative to creating value of high quality work. This still needs more work, reverting back to high quality here to move the PR forward and open up a follow up PR to clarify.
