How to run distributed teams
summary
Argument: hire people who are excellent asynchronous communicators — verify on GitHub, Stack Overflow and mailing lists — because distributed teams fail on miscommunication. Infrastructure must provide redundant fast internet, VPN and two‑factor auth; set up a notification channel for blockers. Operate with OKRs, a single channel for questions, and heavy automation of dev environments, builds, hosting and tests. Use Slack voice, Screenhero, code reviews and design reviews; Blossom lists customers including Twitter, Netflix and NASA as proof of concept.
