Yes — here are some good remote-work and team-process blogs/resources that specifically lean into developer norms, collaboration, async communication, and engineering team practices:
Remote work + engineering/team process
-
GitLab Handbook / Blog
- Probably the best-known public resource for remote team norms.
- Covers async communication, documentation culture, decision-making, meetings, and engineering collaboration.
- https://handbook.gitlab.com/
-
Zapier Blog
- Strong on remote culture and practical collaboration habits for distributed teams.
- Often includes workflow/process articles useful for developer teams.
- https://zapier.com/blog/
-
Buffer Resources/Blog
- Good coverage of remote work practices, team communication, and transparent collaboration.
- More broad than dev-only, but still useful for engineering orgs.
- https://buffer.com/resources/
-
Automattic / Maker and company blogs
- Automattic has long-running remote-first practices and a strong culture of writing, async work, and distributed collaboration.

Doist Blog
- Excellent for async-first work, calm productivity, and team communication norms.

Developer-team norms, communication, and collaboration
-
Basecamp / HEY blog
- Strong opinions on meetings, written communication, and team autonomy.
- Not remote-only, but very relevant to dev collaboration norms.

-
Linear Blog
- More product/engineering process focused, often around collaboration and how teams work effectively.

Atlassian Team Playbook

More process-heavy / async-first
-
Remote.com Blog
- General remote work content, including distributed team management and communication.

Loom Blog
- Useful around async video communication and reducing meetings in technical teams.

If you want more “developer-norms” specific themes, search for:
- async-first engineering
- remote code review norms
- written decision records / ADRs
- meetingless engineering teams
- documentation culture
- distributed pair programming
- engineering manager handbook remote
If you want, I can also turn this into a short curated reading list for engineering managers or split it into “best for async communication,” “best for code review culture,” and “best for remote engineering leadership.”
