Lore.md is capitalized, so it 404s on the server. (It works locally because the filesystem is casing-agnostic, but it does matter on the server.) To get it to rename (and for Git) to pick up on the changes, you'll need to change it in two commits (because Mac OS won't see the casing rename as an actual change):
- Rename
Lore.mdto something likelore-temp.md, then commit - Rename
lore-temp.mdtolore.md, then commit
I also saw the lore content was left in /handbook/help. Was it meant to be duplicated so it lives there and the dedicated page? Otherwise I might reference it in the help page, but then link it to the full page you created for it.
contents/handbook/company/culture.md

"in the office" → "in front of your computer"?

Could change to "hours spent in an office". I think the point is begin remote eliminates presenteeism, which is specifically associated with being in an office.

I feel like this is somewhat at odds with our performance expectations and the fact that we do let people go if they aren't able to perform.

Yeah, I see your point. This has been in here for a while. The actual words on this don't really match the heading anyway. When you read it, it's more about pushing people to do better all the time, rather than being satisfied with "good enough". At least, that's how I read it.

Yeah I feel like this heading has nothing to do with the content. Maybe "We give direct feedback early and often" and link to the blog post about this?

Is this something that was discussed somewhere / agreed to change? I think this framing of "start from the start" is useful strategically, whereas "useful at every stage" is less specific and generic and not very helpful.

No, just my suggestion. "Start from the start" is just confusing to me! It think this used by "Get in first", which made more sense to me. Anyway, I don't feel strongly, so can remove this.

I agree, I like the prior wording to "get in first" better

@smallbrownbike we should automate this number

There's a hardcoded country number reference in contents/handbook/company/grown-ups.md as well

Changes
Additional: The values page still references 'Bias for impact' instead of action. I made an attempt at updating this, but abandoned it as wasn't sure what the correct wording should be. Feel free to have stab at that and add to this PR.
