Reported a bug on @nomadscom. It got fixed in less than 24h. Speed of execution is a moat. GG @levelsio!

¿Que tal Madrid 🇪🇸? After past events in Mauritius, Singapore and Dubai, this year’s company retreat is in Europe for the first time! The full @parseur team flew to Spain for a week long of company brainstorms, team building, sprinkled with pan con tomate, jamón bellota and a tad of Rioja. So nice to be able to meet all face to face and define the future of the company together.

Return to Office (RTO) mandates are everywhere lately. But not here. Oh no. @parseur is 100% remote and async-first 🌎 For context, Parseur is just 5 people, but somehow, we ended up spread across 5 continents and 12 hours of time zones. Coordination nightmare? Nope, it’s awesome! At Parseur we: 🖥 Work however we like: mostly at home, at a coworking space, at a cozy coffee shop with caramel macchiatos, or using a hybrid-depends-on-the-day-but-I-do-love-a-good-5-star-hotel (👋🏻@SylvainJoss ). Letting everyone pick their productivity sweet spot is our secret sauce. ✈️ Live wherever we want: I've moved through 4 countries while at Parseur. Sylvain managed 4 homes in 3 different countries during that time. Something tells me we're not done yet but thankfully, Parseur's fully remote setup won't slow us down. ⏰ Work at our own pace: I'm a weird OMADer (One Meal A Day, yes, breakfast and lunch breaks aren't my thing) so I like my uninterrupted 9am to 6pm work slot. Others take breaks for an intense gym session and come back later to power through in the evening or at night. Async work means freedom to work when it suits you best. 📅 Have short, sweet, and rare meetings: We try to pack all our meetings on Mondays, keeping the rest of the week clear for real, deep, uninterrupted work. Efficiency is mandatory: everyone shows up prepared. And all non-urgent stuff waits until next Monday. ✍️ Want more writing, less chit-chat: Writing forces clarity and, at least for me, often solves problems without needing to interrupt anyone. Slack and Notion help us keep track of every decision. No "wait, did we decide this already?" confusion. But hey, nothing's perfect, right? Remote async work has downsides too: - Strategic brainstorms can be tricky. Solution? Meet up more! Next month, Sylvain and I will meet up in 🇲🇨 Monaco. Because why not? - Complex problems need actual talking. We sometimes spend too much time "arguing" about the best technical approach on Slack. We are getting better at recognizing when that happens and switching to quick "let's get to the bottom of this" calls. - Hiring senior, independent workers who thrive remotely is a requirement (junior staff who needs micromanagement, sorry, cannot lah). - Remote can feel isolating. Our random Slack channel is where we can post all our cat pictures. Plus our yearly week-long team retreat injects face-to-face fun and bonding. Despite these quirks, remote async is part of Parseur's DNA, key to our success, and I wouldn't have it any other way. No RTO for us! 🚫🏢 (in the picture, Deux, my cat needing constant attention and tanking my productivity down, ruining everything I just wrote. Good job Deux)
