       | coherent.

         | Interesting - these have exactly the design polish I'd expect
         | from working at FB, Twitter, DBX, etc... From what I've seen

         | more about the quality of my thinking than the polish of my
         | docs.

         | Paul - great work. Was thinking of doing the same. I'd love to
         | collaborate on some sort of shared resource/repo of docs like
         | these (github?) and contribute a few of my own.

           | A shared repo on github would be great! I was
           | wondering....where am I going to bookmark this so I'll
           | remember to go back to it in the future. Though, how many of
           | the people who would benefit most from these docs don't use
           | git?
           | 
           | Though I may copy the docs into a confluence template.

       | Once people started missing deliverables and having their comp
       | and ratings impacted, documentation shot to 100%.
