- __d 7y agoGiven the multiple choice answers provided, I think my experience with remote work is fairly different to that motivating your understanding of the problem. The tool support for productive remote teamwork is pretty bad. The fact that Slack is so popular merely illustrates how low the bar is. The hardest part of being in a remote team is maintaining focus and urgency, with none of the "vibe" of being co-located. Given the inherent costs of being isolated, it doesn't take much friction from poor tools to impact productivity.
- junetic 7y agoCan you give an example of a recent experience when you couldn't maintain focus and urgency? Also what you do you mean it doesn't take much friction from poor tools to impact productivity? Like Slack fatigue from too many noisy notifications and not being able to keep up?
