Mini Books

At work, I get to talk to a lot of interesting people and juggle a wide range of ideas. With that much in motion, things can get messy, and keeping everyone aligned takes effort.

So I put together these “Mini Books.” They’re meant to create a shared baseline and make life easier for all of us.

They also give me a convenient link to send when someone new asks how things work.
