We replaced daily meetings with a lightweight async ritual. Engineers post blockers before noon, leads respond in-thread, and we reserve one weekly sync for decisions only.
If you hate performative standups but still want tight feedback loops, you'll feel at home here. We hire people who write clearly, default to transparency, and don't need a manager in the room to unblock themselves.
