Ask HN: How much direct client interaction necessary for remote developers?
Recently joined a local team of developers working with a remote client. We are having twice a week remote meetings with the client where each developer updates the client about individual performance and shares next milestone etc.
Is this the right approach? Do each developer in a team (consisting of both senior and junior devs) have to directly interact with the client? Or, it is the job of Project Manager / Team Lead?
- CameronBarre 7y agoFace to face? None. I've never met anyone I've worked with or work for at my current gig in person and I am well over three years in on it. There is no point in arguing that face to face time isn't beneficial though. If it feels necessary/feasible/practical to meet your client in person, then do it. If it can be avoided and you work well together despite the distance, then just roll with it.
