I think remote work could be picking up even faster if it wasn’t for these 3 issues:
- People tend to conflate remote work with async work. Most companies, managers and also developers don’t actually want to work async though.
- The tooling isn’t there yet.
- People expect that being remote means being undistracted and invisible which feels good but harms social cohesion
- sameer_hacker 7y agoWhat makes you say that the tooling isn't there yet?
- beobab 7y agoDo you know of a tool which allows two (or more) people to share their screens with each other at the same time? i.e. A can see (at least) one of B's screens, and B can see (at least) one of A's screens at the same time as talking to them. That's the tool I'm missing to be able to work productively remotely.
- cweagans 7y agoYou can only realistically look at one person's screen at a time, but if you really need this feature, Zoom supports it: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000424286-Sharing-Multiple-Screens-Simultaneously https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000424286-Shari...
- konschubert 7y agoCheap, connected whiteboards that feel snappy, cheap conference mics that can cover a mid-size room while filtering out the reverb, always-on video communication tools (@TandemHQ is going into a good direction there). All in all, most remote communication is still going through a single, small screen, that seems very limiting to me.
