In remote working, your git remote branch / pull request / staging app are your presence, not your chat's avatar with a green circle there. You're responsible

In remote working, your git remote branch / pull request / staging app are your presence, not your chat's avatar with a green circle there.
You're responsible to reporting or asking what's obstacle or what's needed to discuss at early of the day or yesterday.
Your ideal employer can only ask you once at the end of the day how's work going, anything they can provide to make your works tomorrow non-blocking. It could have a few exception rarely.
That's from my little 3 years+ experience of remote working across 14-hours timezone difference.
- softawre 9y agoSome people might like this, but in my experience working like this leads to being a code jockey and no advancement in salary or responsibility.
- Existenceblinks 9y agoThat's completely true to me. I don't know how many but I guess there's a ton of software developers who aren't really interested in projects they are developing, but that doesn't seem to tie with quality of works. Personally, I haven't really interested in any product out there. I tried but there were no such a thing. I've realized that at the end of the day I'll have to build a little profitable product and start the next possible ways from there. (I know, nothing new about that realization and consequence but I still & will have to do this)
- scorpioxy 9y agoOh good. I thought i was the only one. Not to distract from the original point of the thread but its just not interesting any more. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy solving problems using code. But gone are the days where I would like nothing more but to spend the entire weekend coding. After a while in the industry, its just more of the same.
