>But when you're on a team that's majority or fully remote, a lot of that happens via chat (text or video) and you don't feel like you're not being included. like 8 years ago I had an older remote dev give me the best advice I've ever gotten about working remotely: "If you were working in an office, would you hesitate to get up and walk over to a coworker and ask them about some bug? or just talk about your weekend? or maybe both? Then you shouldn't be shy about picking up the phone and calling them when your remote. If they can't or don't want to answer, they won't" When I finally started taking that to heart, my remote working experience got significantly better. See someone pop online in slack? Shoot them a message about the weekend, start a call and just talk about nothing. Frustrated with some piece of code? call a coworker to talk it over, maybe mention in the slack channel that you're having trouble and post a zoom meeting link that others can join to help out if they aren't busy.
