Twilio #TweekWeek Celebrates the Entrepreneurial Spirit`
Two weeks ago Twilio conducted an experiment called Tweek where employees were given a week to work on any project they chose with whomever they wanted without any product cycles, specs, or restrictions. This was done to give employees more time to innovate and refine their ideas. The teams that participated in Tweek demonstrated their projects on Friday and six of them will be deployed to production within the next two months. The results are already being seen at Twilio with some infrastructure tweaks being implemented in production. The company believes in the entrepreneurial spirit and trusts in small teams to self-assemble and achieve amazing things, which is why Tweek was a way to celebrate these values in a big way.
