Welcome to the new Rev engineering blog! This will be a place for us to share our technical thoughts, and a way for you to get a peek into life at Rev. We think documenting things here will help us formalize some of our values, and provide us a running history of challenges we’re facing and conversations we’re having. We hope that having these conversations in a more public forum will not just benefit Rev, but allow other engineers and their organizations to learn from our experiences.

Here are a few topics to expect from us:

• How Rev does 10% time (and the role it played in the creation of this blog)
• Rev’s engineering values
• How we interview
• Establishing our front-end build
• Engineer profiles
• How Rev supports remote engineers
• How we approached migrating our files to TypeScript

Are there other topics you’d like to see us cover? Tell us in the comments.
