Some good tips in here, we run a fully distributed team and had overcome similar challenges.
One tip I would add is pair-programming on complex parts or sticking points through screen and vim, we have an ec2 instance dedicated for pairing which everyone has access to.
- technomancy 16y agoI was surprised at that omission from the article. Getting tools to ease remote pairing is one of the most challenging things about remote work. We ended up making Emacs a hiring requirement just because working from screen is such a crucial part of what we do.
- matthewcford 16y agoyes, vim or willingness to learn is currently a hiring requirement for us. Not a religious thing, just happend the first two guys we hired preferred vim.
