I am a pragmatic collaborator who values being helpful, whether that's direct contribution, code review, or sharing knowledge. I prefer asynchronous, written communication, and highly value code quality, maintainability, and backward compatibility. I believe work is owned collectively and tasks could flow freely. I highly value honesty, transparency, and inclusiveness.
