Living our open source values
Open source isn’t just the technology we build with: it’s how we work.
At Human Made, we believe that sharing knowledge, working in the open, and giving back to the community leads to better outcomes for everyone. That’s why our commitment to open source extends beyond code.
We maintain an open Employee Handbook that reflects how we work, collaborate, and support one another across a fully distributed team. For developers, we publish our open Engineering Handbook: a detailed guide to our technical principles, standards, and workflows.
By working transparently, we aim to empower our team, our clients, and the wider WordPress and open source community.
Open source isn’t just something we use. It’s something we live.
