This page is inspired by this document I stumbled across randomly. This will forever be a work in progress as I update my working style.
This is the “how to work with Maxx” page! I hope this is useful for anyone who will work with me in the future.
Working with Maxx
Communication Rules
- For initial intros, feel free to email! Format it nicely (aka easy to read with clear actionable steps) and don’t be rambly. (See: Email)
- I read every single email, but I won’t always respond. Know that I have read it. I will only respond if you ask me directly or if I have any questions. If you want a response from me, resend the email with a ?
- Informal language is fine.
- Don’t waste your time (and mine!) with polite greetings. “Hope you are doing well…” I prefer just jumping straight into things.
- If you want to 1<>1 with me, ideally just send a Cal link. I don’t care about whatever associated power dynamics encoded in sending a scheduling link.
- If you do 1<>1 with me, please come prepared, either with questions or understanding of the topic on hand.
