For the past few years I've taken the habit of sharing short documents to explain my opinions and make discussions move faster. So far they've been mostly helpful in furthering debates, so let me share the format and reasons I'm doing this.

A practical approach to sharing opinions asynchronously in distributed teams using short, clearly labeled opinion documents. The format involves writing a concise 'take' document with a tl;dr, sharing it progressively to a few readers first for refinement, then broadcasting it widely. Benefits include pre-wiring meetings, sharpening one's own thinking, and creating a historical record of decisions and reasoning.
