Your work environment sounds very similar to ours. We're remote, we do weekly meetings and minutes in a very similar way, we're not typically deadline-oriented outside of exceptions for the most part.

We, DEV, are a consumer-facing web app, of course, and we are a Rails shop where most folks do at least a bit of fullstack work even if they specialize in part of it.

We're not based in Silicon Valley, but we are in a tech-centric space so we need to be a bit more "plugged in" in general. Us founders have a lot of business relationships that run through that part of the world, so we go there from time to time to tune into the trends.

It's definitely interesting to see how different folks do different things.
