Here it is for your review

funnelfiasco commented 4 years ago

Also: I intentionally left out anything about etiquette and practice because those are/will be covered in Jimmy's "Communication practices typical of high-performing remote teams" chapter and Joe's chapter (#16).

Can't wait to review. Thanks, @funnelfiasco, for your awesome work.

Ah! Forgot to leave a comment here. Sorry, @funnelfiasco! I'm finished with the first round of edits and happy to discuss. Thanks for this great chapter.

semioticrobotic commented 4 years ago

Hey @trncb: Would you mind giving this a second look?

As you can see (above), this is @funnelfiasco's first draft and I've made some edits and suggestions on it, but a more thorough cleanup may be helpful as @funnelfiasco puts his finishing touches in.

trncb commented 4 years ago

@funnelfiasco great article!

I have made a few more suggestions for consideration.

semioticrobotic commented 4 years ago

This is great, @trncb. Thanks so much for catching all these mistakes that slipped by us.

The only changes on which I'd push back are those related to the use of em dashes (—). You've proposed changing those to hyphens, which isn't really our style (em dashes without spaces is our style for offsetting clauses for emphasis, and it renders most appropriately in print and typeset).

funnelfiasco commented 4 years ago

@trncb you capitalized "Internet". I love you already. :-) I'm with @semioticrobotic on the em dashes though—copious em dashery is part of my #Personal #Brand.

@semioticrobotic I read through the chapter as-is and I couldn't tell where my draft ended and your edits begin. I also did add the consideration that I wasn't sure if I had but was definitely going to if I hadn't, so from my perspective this is ready once the em dashes are restored. :wink:

trncb commented 4 years ago

haha, thanks @funnelfiasco.

No problem with regards to the em dash, I'll fix that right up.

No greater compliment for an editor. Thanks, @funnelfiasco. Glad it's to your liking. When @trncb makes his final tweaks, we'll get it moving along. Huge thank you for contributing this great resource.

trncb commented 4 years ago

@funnelfiasco @semioticrobotic em dashes restored.

semioticrobotic commented 4 years ago

Thanks, all! Let's wrap this one.
