I really want to read those notes you've written (I've sent you an email).

Paul Graham, Patrick Collison and Vitalik Buterin all have this ability to express ideas in an extremely deep yet clear and concie way.

It's one thing to do this individually, but what amazes me is their ability to scale out this communication sty;e to their entire organization. If you read any of the blog posts by YC, Stripe and the Ethereum Foundation you'll understand what I mean. You can also see how it stands so far ahead of most other companies.

A recent example that comes to mind for anyone interested: Ethereum Foundation's blog post explaining why they're moving away from calling their upgrades "Eth2"and just calling it "Eth" instead.

As a founder myself, I really want to figure out the tactics to scaling clear and effective communication to an entire team.




Monzo is another company which does this incredibly well, and wrote a public document on it: https://monzo.com/tone-of-voice/

I'd love to read more on this topic - how companies learn to do this, and then go about establishing it internally, so that it becomes part of their brand and culture.


Your comment made me think of mailchimp's https://styleguide.mailchimp.com/voice-and-tone/
