#make time for fun

Today is a repeat because I like this one.

Good morning. “Life is too short to not have fun; we are only here for a short time compared to the sun and the moon and all that.” - Coolio Make time in your life for fun. Fun with family or friends is what you remember. You won't remember all the work you did. It will be the fun, joyous moments that you will remember. So get out and find something fun to do this weekend. I hope each of you has a good day.

DV Core Value #7: Make Time for Fun

Written by Barbara Essien “Work is hard, but it doesn't have to be boring! A big part of working happy is taking time to clear your head and have fun. At DV this is often accomplished through a rousing game of ping-pong, a nostalgic dive into YouTube clips of a TV show from yesteryear, or even a gif-driven tangent on Slack. We embrace this! Building software is a creative process, and creative processes are not switch-driven linear 4-hour segments of the work day.” - Michael Gill Founder & Creative Director

The work environment at Dynamic Vision is a space of many sounds. There is of course the harmony of fingertips dancing atop keyboards. Apart from that, there is the melody of a ping pong ball bouncing from paddle to table to paddle and back. The sonance of the yoga instructor’s voice guiding a developer through sun salutations can be heard at a distance. 

Music doesn’t only ring out from the Sonos speakers placed throughout the office, but also in the picnic room where jam sessions are held. And though the vibrations of the PS4 controllers cannot be as easily heard, the good vibes of the players are usually sensed by those around.

“Here at DV we take pride in our work and believe strongly in the “work hard, play hard” motto. After hours of developing application features I enjoy challenging my fellow co-workers to a friendly competition of ping pong, which I am not too shabby in.”

- Victor Cortez DV Software Engineer

At DV whether a team member has hit a wall, accomplished a task or has been ask to be a friendly opponent, that’s their cue to take the time to have fun. Because all work and no play makes a dev re-read lines of code.   Previous post: Support Your Team
