Prompt
Are there any remote work and team process blogs that focus on developer team norms and collaboration?
Latest observation
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

-
Automattic / Maker and company blogs
- Automattic has long-running remote-first practices and a strong culture of writing, async work, and distributed collaboration.

More process-heavy / async-first

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.”
