Intro

At ShipHero, we try to give back to the community as much as we can. Every time we build an internal tool that we know could benefit other devs outside the company, we package it in a way that can be shared. Sometimes it ends up being useful, sometimes not, but it’s important for us to make those available to leave that door open.

As with any company with some years behind it, we have a variety of code that ranges from new and up-to-date with the latest good practices to ancient and in need of improvement. Being a live company with a product that is very much alive and constantly evolving, we are quite sure that most of our code gets updated over time (we actually check this, and when something is not scheduled to be modified relatively soon and we think it doesn’t meet a minimal quality standard, we do ad-hoc refactors).
