How to read research the good enough way

1. Check the source

  • Where did this version of a paper come from?
  • Has anyone outside the authors reviewed this work?
  • Who is providing funding for this work?

amcasari's tech management theories, lemmas, and corollaries

my core values

  • Enable a growth mindset
  • A team is more than a collection of individuals
  • Sustainability is always a priority
  • Give cover for calculated risks
  • Build soapboxes, shine spotlights

on working with me (and space i’ll definitely give you)

  • I work spiky :) This is sometimes due to personal commitments, community organization work, talks, coffees, my brain getting interrupted by things that are not
