Having worked with Yonatan on various community-building efforts, and discussing many technical and nontechnical projects with him, Iโm very optimistic about the value he can give if he has the resources and freedom to do so. Happy to serve as a reference.
Main impressions:
He is very aligned and happy to sacrifice his time, money, and credit to do more good.
Very helpful to EA community members and organizations, and makes sure to be very pleasant and accessible.
Thinks clearer than most about ways of doing good, and acts based on the resulting logical conclusions, even if controversial.
Evidently, very open, honest, and direct.
Great quick-and-dirty approach to starting new projects.
Very independent, and knows how to solicit design requirements and quick feedback.
He may not be the most ridiculous EA in Israel, but he is close ๐ฑโ๐โธ๐ฅฝ
To work with him effectively long-term, one should have very open communication and give him the freedom to pursue the goals and directions he believes in.
(Yonatan, Iโm curious as to whether/โhow much you agree with these ๐)
