The planet may be obvious: we try to keep our impact on the environment as low as we can. To me, there are four pillars to sustainability at Yoink: planet, people, clients and projects. Although being good for the planet is an important part of what we do, I personally believe that sustainability is about much more than planting trees. The world is changing and we want to be part of the solution(s) rather than the problem. Yes, sustainability is an important value at Yoink. In addition to being great ways to learn, they can also be fun trips and opportunities to contribute to the Java community. It almost feels like a no-brainer to me, but at Yoink, there is also plenty of room for participating in meetups, brown bag sessions, courses and conferences. As a bonus, we can teach each other and I love learning about other areas of expertise.
I know from experience that diversity in backgrounds can be a great asset to a team.
#YOINK OR NO YOINK GAME ONLINE FULL#
At Yoink, I want to build a place where people can grow to their full potential.Įven if you are not the "standard IT-person", or don't have a degree in Computer Science, you can still be a great developer. Whether it is to simply answer a question, help a colleague understand something, coach a younger developer or explain a concept to a larger audience, sharing helps everyone involved. To me, sharing knowledge has always been of great importance and even a source of energy. Some games work just fine over webcams and beers and wine can be shipped around the country.Įven after showing clients that remote work can be just as productive, I can't wait to organize board game nights, sporty activities, back-yard BBQs, R&D days and regular drinks or lunch at the office. Social gatherings were mostly online, but even then there is room for fun. Under normal circumstances, we would have been able to do all sort of fun activities, but COVID forced us to be creative. Fun can be found in many activities and should be promoted on a wider scale. I believe work without play is a sure-fire way to numb the mind. Centered in Java and the other JVM-languages, we have a strong presence in the market as well as the community. On March 1st 2020, I partnered with OpenValue and launched Yoink, a new IT consultancy company focused on fun, knowledge sharing and sustainability. After being a freelancer for over 10 years in the Java/JVM DevOps world, I was looking to build something that was more than just me.
Last year marked the start of a long-standing dream. With our challenge to grow in front of us, it is high time to introduce Yoink to the world. Yoink was founded as part of a dream to build a group of professionals, ready to push themselves, their clients and potentially the world to a higher level. After what was no doubt the weirdest year on many fronts, it is time to look forward.
