Issue 2: Fit the Job to the Team
Happy New Year of 2026!
For December 2025, this issue we have relatively less content as we are exploring plan for offline meetups and searching our way to make this more scalable:
- We have been working on a contributor portal for people to understand our standard and submit articles
- We are going to do meetups quarterly. Feel free to mutate our idea or add your comments here: [ Google doc ]
- We want to make sure that if one person learns a lesson, the whole world learns it too.
- We plan to organize meetups to turn 'I don't know' into 'We can find out together' and ensure that finding also recorded here.
- We are also looking for an experienced editor. Although we have no budget at all.
This month we had 3 cases, 2 story and 1 analysis added to the knowledge base. 4+ articles under review.
