How does Danielle even
Welcome to my README! In the age of remote work, it can be harder than ever to get to know the people you work with (especially a new manager!), so I wrote this README in hopes to help you understand how best to work with me. I care deeply about the work I do and the people on my team and I want to help you be your best self and do your best work.
TLDR
I believe in putting people first. I believe in collaborative teams without bullies. I love to ship things quickly and iteratively. I love to learn and to teach. I value context and transparency. I will help you become the best person you can be if you let me. I value the safety of the marginalized over the hurt feelings of the privileged. I'm an introvert. I recommend reading Radical Candor to understand my feelings on compassionate feedback and watching Ted Lasso season 1 and Fresh Off the Boat (seasons 1-4) to understand my motivations for running a team and Lara Hogan's Resilient Management to understand my communication style.
