Distributed Work
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
Work organized across different places, time zones, or locations rather than centered in one office. In culture discussions distributed work is broader than remote work because it includes the whole coordination model, not just where laptops happen to be.
In plain English: Work done across different places rather than one central office.
Example: "The company did not really understand distributed work until it realized that docs, decision records, and async updates mattered more than just mailing people better webcams."
