Closes #98.

Changelog:

  • Adds coding practices, core values and cultural principles.
  • Re, core values, @PaulRBerg, I have added some bullet points (only for the context) that I believe, but couldn't think of a way to write it down. Can you please take care of that section?
  • Re, principles, I have removed headings which had made it easier to read imo. Feel free to bring them back if you feel that look better.
  • The section is called "Our Values" instead of "Values". I didn't include "Principles" in the main title as it makes it too big.

From this,

Security of the system is the highest order bit, and the system is only as secure as the foundation upon which it is built

But didn't want to copy :). I think it kind of applied to us as well but don't how to put it down properly.

a permissionless can be compromised, for example, during deployment.
- Listen to user. Derive features from users feedback.
- On a mission to increase internet GDP. That means growing the pie as well.

This feels awfully similar to Stripe :)

I think we should find our own moto. Linking this discussion we had on Slack about it. I think "Accelerate global money velocity." is a good tagline FWIW, but we should have a proper discussion about it. cc @PaulRBerg

I'm sorry but this feels very cheesy. We're not a family. We're here to do business and make money.

Agree its very cheery. Feel free to suggest pointers. How can we put it like what you said but without focussing too much on the money part?

## Cultural Principles

- We don’t watch what we say. We are fully open about what we think, always.
- We don’t believe in hierarchies.

I think we should clarify here: "We don’t believe in hierarchies when debating the merits of ideas"

Because we obviously do believe in hierarchy, there would otherwise be no reason for Paul to be CEO.
