doing that right now
you cannot take shortcuts. like I am building for an operation, so I can walk over to the head of ops, or one of the managers and just figure out my problem. For my remote engineers, we gotta spec everything out otherwise they simply can't build it. And timezone issues make that even harder.
My personal preference is to make a team 100% distributed (could be multiple teams in a company) or 100% local. 100% local can solve local problems. Distributed teams can solve problems that don't require interactions with other teams.
The watercooler brainstorming loss that ent101 mentioned is a big loss and I miss it very much.
- brobdingnagians 7y agoCompletely agree with the comment on spec'ing things out. It's almost impossible to make a spec by patchwork evolution. Things don't turn out well, so it is extremely important to think out the details carefully and clearly, then having the engineers ask to clarify things as they come to them makes much more sense.
