I run a globally distributed startup - we still have very responsive communication but a) it’s not everyone on the team that’s a workaholic since not everyone prefers to be always “on” like that, and so that’s fine, they contribute in other ways; b) we have to be a bit more strategic about timing since you can’t powwow with someone unless that person’s awake, and c) we spend more effort explicitly aligning since misalignment can waste a ton of time, so in a way it’s upgraded the quality of our communication. I personally think it’s been fine, and as a result we have a much bigger hiring pool and are getting as much done as any startup in SV I’ve worked at.
