Occasional sync up meetings. Daily stand ups, for example, are great when they’re done in small groups, ineffective when done in larger groups. I think having a nice daily for every 4 to 5 engineers works best. The reason I like these is not so much to hear about the work being done, but to rally together as a team and help others feel like they’re part of something bigger. Sometimes, being remote, you can lose focus on the bigger picture, since you may rarely hear from your teammates. It’s good to boost team morale with an occasional sync up :)

Why not regular sync up meetings?
