Amp Runs One Meeting a Week: Thorsten Ball Details the Monday Ritual
vincent_koc · x · 2026-11-15
Thorsten Ball details Amp's minimal meeting culture in Joy & Curiosity #106: the team holds exactly one scheduled meeting per week (Monday, one hour). He sends a Sunday/early-Monday message on the most important things; the meeting covers priorities, then a silent writing block where everyone lists what they'll ship, reviewed item by item. Everyone must have the shared Google Doc open, cameras on, no side-agent prompting — building team peripheral vision. Justin Jackson has adopted the format at Transistor and is happy with the results.
