Researcher Herbie Bradley questioned if split-time-zone squads can function.
optimal logistics recipe for frontier research squad outputmaxxing is converging on:
- 3 days/week together in office - 2 days remote - weekly all hands - 2-3 high quality offsites/yr - min 1 celebration/yr with families invited - 3-4 ad hoc/mgmt gatherings as needed
ymmv
Many users praised the founder's hybrid schedule for frontier research teams as a solid blueprint optimal for companies beyond research, while one dismissed the office days as mere commute optimization rather than output maximization.

@AnjneyMidha this seems like the optimal for a lot of companies beyond just frontier research
@AnjneyMidha What constitutes a high quality offsite exactly?
@AnjneyMidha - everyone gets long stretches of uninterrupted deep work - default to writing, escalate to calls
@AnjneyMidha do you think frontier research squads split across time zones can work? there are a number of neolabs with offices in eg SF/London or SF/Zurich

@AnjneyMidha Solid blueprint. Nailing the async-sync balance.
@kaspers @AnjneyMidha i'd say
founders share the vision again and again, and how it's evolving
realign on goals, kpis, and targets
check the team's pulse and how everyone is doing mentally
work work work
have a lot of fun
@AnjneyMidha this is correct
@AnjneyMidha 3 days in office for frontier research? I'm calling it commute optimization, not outputmaxxing.
