The Temple of Fail
a day ago
- The Temple of Fail is a weekly practice where team members share mistakes to foster learning and a no-blame culture.
- It originated from an idea shared by Jane Nicholson and Jess Gilbert, and is implemented at Haplo, a company that hires early-career developers.
- During the session, each person brings a mistake (big or small) to discuss how to avoid it in the future, reducing repeated errors.
- The ceremony is kept light-hearted with humorous introductions to reduce intimidation, especially for newcomers.
- A no-blame attitude is essential, focusing on fixing processes rather than individuals, supported by the company's directors.
