The values of the team

Postel's law

"Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Postel

Branches off main are meant to be either merged in a timely manner, or show off a potential feature, or should be removed/released back into the wild.

Features need a use case or a user before they can be explored in detail.

It is better to delete code that is not used, than to keep it around. You have written it once, you will write it better the next time. Don't be afraid to let it go.

Politely ask for more resources

While many optimisations can be done when asking for more threads and resources of the user's system, such optimisations should always be turned off by default.
