I realize the two concepts aren't necessarily incompatible, but I'm curious how you avoid preferential treatment for non-remote workers. For example, you advertise "Fully-stocked kitchen with organic snacks, beverages and coffee drinks" for people working out of your SF office, so I'm curious if/how you show equivalent love to your remote workers.
The key takeaway for me was: Remote-first means working remote is the default. It means making sure your remote employees are as much a part of the team as those in the office.
The team I work with - the rippled team - is 100% remote. Other teams within ripple work mostly onsite.
