Personally this was my favourite bit:
Because while that area north of Silicon Valley is busy
disrupting everything, it still hasn’t caught up with the
basic disruption of geography.
- ryanSrich 11y agoAs a remote worker and remote work proponent that was by far my favorite quote.
- TranquilMarmot 11y agoAny advice for finding remote work?
- ryanSrich 11y agoGet an offer first. After that then say you'll only work remotely.
- mahyarm 11y agoThat is pretty funny solution, but it might just work sometimes. How much has that worked for you?
- vinceguidry 11y agoWhy not find local work and then start a company you can run remotely?
- junto 11y agoI found remote work through old work contracts. People that trust me to do a good job regardless of where I am. It is difficult for companies to give people that trust, so it is all about helping them to find that trust and then not letting then down.
- wlll 11y agoAs someone else replied, contacts, friends and old colleagues. I got my first remote job by going to the local Ruby user group and getting to know people. You might also check https://weworkremotely.com/ https://weworkremotely.com/ (full disclosure, company I work for runs the site).

- discordianfish 11y agoAs someone who worked remote for about two years I feel like you have less impact on the overall direction of the services you work on. At least unless your company is embracing remote work and make sacrifices to support it. Lot of information exchange happens casually, between a cup of coffee, in the office. It's hard to make up for that in infrastructure and processes in remote work.
- ryanSrich 11y agoThat's a management issue. If the correct remote work processes are in place things like this are easy to overcome. It also helps when 90%+ of your company is remote. I agree though, remote work only works if your company is full on remote (culture, comms, hr, etc).
- larrywright 11y agoMine too. With cost of living skyrocketing, at this point it's purely masochism to stay in San Francisco.
- staunch 11y agoI believe conquering space and time is on the Silicon Valley TODO list.
