We strongly encourage all non-technical team members to take some kind of entry level programming course - it's part of our 'you're the driver' culture that everyone can at least understand very basic concepts around software development. [Codecademy](https://www.codecademy.com/) is a good place to start and they cover many of the technologies we use, such as Python and React.

The training budget is $1000 per calendar year, but this _isn't_ a hard limit - if you want to spend in excess of this, have a chat with your manager. Where the costs are higher than $1000, please give Charles a heads-up, so he can increase your card limit.

You're not expected to use your own time for this. We think that activities like these help you get better at your job, advertise PostHog, and help increase the diversity of the tech industry - all things we value!

It is expected that you would spend up to half a day a month on these activities. Like the training budget, this isn't a hard limit. If you think you need more than that talk to your manager.

You can use your training budget for time spent talking at conferences and user groups, including coaching others. It is expected that you would spend up to half a day a month on these activities. Like the training budget, this isn't a hard limit. If you think you need more than that talk to your manager in the first instance.
