This is the same for in-person work. Whether you’re face to face or remote, you still need to practice good management. I find it’s much easier to scale as a remote manager as the team’s focus is much more work oriented and much less focused on office drama that requires management participation or intervention. Even something like catching up with everyone after a weekend is much more taxing IRL from a management perspective.

As a senior engineer, I've lost a big signal when one of the more junior engineers on my team needs help: being able to see frustrated faces by just looking around. It's much easier to check in and make sure nobody's blocked for too long when we're in the same place. It's resulting in less disruptions for me, but if the cost is the junior devs staying blocked longer, that may not be a net positive.
