Cleaning Realnaps and okecbot and setting up SOPs for long time use
4As a tech founder, especially in the realm of building a reliable software and security company, it’s crucial to recognize that the responsibility will no longer solely rest on your shoulders. Over time, you’ll need to bring in a team to help scale your operations and maintain consistency. However, simply delegating tasks without a structured framework will not ensure the results you want.
To put this into perspective, think of a restaurant. While everyone may know how to cook rice, the signature flavor of a restaurant's jollof rice is achieved through a specific recipe—one that must be followed precisely, no matter who’s in the kitchen. This is the key to maintaining consistency in taste and quality, ensuring that every customer experiences the same product. In business, these "recipes" are known as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), while policies serve as guidelines that define how to execute the company's methods and vision consistently.
Without clear SOPs and policies in place, you risk allowing your team members to deviate from the intended process, much like letting different chefs make rice their own way. This can lead to discrepancies in quality, efficiency, and security—especially in software development, where processes like pushing code to GitHub require specific steps to ensure safety and stability.
As part of the ongoing effort to formalize these processes, I’m taking a moment today to not only address some quick website clean-up tasks but also to document a brief SOP. This will ensure that, in the future, anyone on the team knows exactly how to push code to GitHub correctly, following a defined procedure that aligns with the standards I’ve set.
