Remote First
Adjective · Hacker Culture
Definitions
Describing an organization designed primarily for remote work, with processes, tooling, and communication norms built so distributed participation is the default rather than an accommodation. Remote-first teams emphasize written communication and async coordination.
In plain English: Built so remote work is the normal default, not a special case.
Example: "The company says it is remote first, and you can tell because every key decision is documented instead of left in hallway conversations."
