Video: Let Kotlin Come To You [Bufferdevs Snackchat]
At Buffer we regularly hold what we call ‘Snackchats’. These are short & informal presentations of something that we want to share with our team which help to build on our engineering culture and help each other to grow as engineers. Anyone on the team has the opportunity to give these talks ? Once a discussion has been proposed, a day/time can be picked ready for people to grab a drink (and snack!) to take some time out of their day to learn something new.

This ties in with our value of Transparency and allows us to share our learnings with even more people. So grab your drink of choice, your favorite snack and let’s learn something new together ?

For example, if I record a Loom video for a teammate in another time zone, they can watch it when they’re online — this is async communication at its best. Some remote companies are async first. A few are even fully async with no live ca
