Meetings are a point of escalation, not a starting point

Read Original

This article argues that asynchronous communication (like GitHub issues, PRs, and docs) should be the default in software development and tech teams. It positions meetings as a point of escalation for complex topics like brainstorming or conflict resolution, not as a starting point. The author shares personal data on meeting growth and explains how an async-first approach fosters inclusivity, better documentation, and efficiency, especially in remote work environments.
