Explicit is better than implicit
- Documenting process makes it easier for others to join you.

  - onboard guide
  - how to contribute
  - where to get help
- Keep your conversation about work in public
- Document your peoeple
  - I enjoy working on ...
  - I get excited by ...
  - I struggle when ...
  - I feel appreciated when ...
  - Ask me for help with ...
Simple is better than complex.
- Build meaningful relationships with small interactions
Error should never pass silently
- With humans, we have to rely on other humans to tell us when we broke them.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
Now is better than never.
- Doing and being wrong is a lot better than not doing at all.
