Remote-first
We’re a small, fully-remote team spanning 4 continents and 9 cultures. To make this work, here are some guidelines.
Expectations
- Assume Hanlon’s Razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by
stupiditylack of communication or ambiguity.” - Ask Stupid Questions: If you’re not sure, ask. We are all learning.
- Boil the Ocean into a Single Droplet: We trust you to tackle ambiguity and complexity head-on. Share the insights, abstract the details.
Tip: “I’ve been thinking about X, and I think we should do Y because Z. What do you think?”
- Documentation First: Start with a pull request. Overcomment your code. Publish changes to docs.
- Async Communication over Meetings: If you schedule a meeting, there should be a clear agenda & outcome.
Tip: spend the first 10 minutes of the meeting reading over prepared materials. This way, everyone is well informed and can arrive at a better discussion/decision.
