Ask HN: Hybrid/Remote software team rituals
by codemac on Hacker News.
Hi HN! I’m curious what unexpected team rituals have been helpful for your software development teams as you’ve been working remotely. Rituals that are expected: – everyone on the team writing up weekly summaries. – record every video conference – have lots of 1:1 meetings to maintain relationships Rituals that have been unexpected: – Posting once a week about what I did for fun over the weekend, usually with photos. – Setting up longer phone call 1:1s where both attendees are walking. I think the future of our working relationships will be increasingly remote, but I’m struggling to see interesting creativity for tightly integrated dev teams. If new ways of working aren’t established, I struggle to see how remote teams will compete with teams that meet in person on a weekly/daily basis.
