Communicate Like You're Remote
summary
Argues that Slack as spoken and GitHub as written, gives a seven‑question checklist (decisions → write, ambiguity/feelings → talk), and recommends a single shortcut: pretend you're remote. Shows concrete transitions: ask to write, offer to create a GitHub issue, or request a meeting with a reason and then convert notes back to docs; favors public Slack by default and pairing for teaching. Watch if wanting practical, tool‑level rules you can apply.
