How Stripe Built a Writing-First Culture ๐ The secret to Stripe's success wasn't just codeโit was words on a page: โข Every discussion begins with documentation, not meetings Before they discuss, the person had to circulate a structured doc explaining the problem. โข Leaders write their thoughts independently first Patrick & John Collison set the tone with detailed emails that influenced the entire company. โข Living documents becomes team knowledge bases Each team maintained central documentation summarizing strategy and key decisions. โข Important conversations moved from chat to structured docs โข Weekly written updates replaced status meetings Teams sent structured notes covering progress and blockers instead. โข Email threads documented decisions, not meetings This created transparency and ensured nothing got lost. โข "Just write" culture valued speed over perfection Tell me your views on this. I would be interested to know.
