Meetings are toxic to flow state. We prioritize writing over talking to allow our engineers to do deep work.
The Cost of Context Switching
It takes an engineer 20 minutes to get back into "the zone" after an interruption. A "quick sync" destroys an hour of productivity.
Writing is Thinking
We force major decisions to be written as RFCs (Request for Comments). This allows everyone to think deeply before responding, rather than rewarding the loudest voice in the room.
Standups that Matter
We do async standups in Slack. "What did I ship yesterday? What am I clicking today?" No cameras, no waiting for the PM to join. Just updates.
