My team at Parse.ly is fully remote/distributed -- and one of the motivating reasons I formed the team that way was to reproduce the feel of Fog Creek's "bionic office", but in each engineer's home office space. I discussed this a little in my "Notes on Distributed Teams" presentation here: http://pixelmonkey.org/pub/distributed-teams/notes/#open-plan-vs-open-source http://pixelmonkey.org/pub/distributed-teams/notes/#open-pla... Here's how my personal home office looks: https://flic.kr/p/v1NZ73 https://flic.kr/p/v1NZ73 (Shameless plug, here are the positions we're hiring for, if you're interested! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14902227 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14902227)

Just out of curiosity, why do you have two webcams?

  Oh, simple explanation -- I have two computers. I have an always-on Mac Mini these days, and then a docking station for a Lenovo X1C. One webcam on each. (Since we have a remote team, I sometimes sit in on meetings [listening only] while doing work on my laptop, and for convenience and to save CPU, I do it from a second machine.)
