The dev team has a 15-minute standup. Everyone in the online classroom unmutes and greets everyone else at the same time. Someone at Codegarden shouts "Sea" and a crowd replies "Bass!" All around the world, people do the same thing in the same way, over and over. Rituals are big pieces of the structure that transforms a group of people into "a team" or "a community."
