> When everybody is remote everything has to be scheduled and calendared. This is simply bullshit. I work on a remote team of ~6-7 across all 4 continental US timezones, where most (not all) work from home most of the time. There is almost always a video bridge open for pairing, chatting, “rubber-ducking” and so forth - especially across the common hours. It’s the most productive environment I’ve ever seen by a very long way (and have run the gamut from in-person-on-trading-floor to remote-first). If I were to go to the office, it would be the same since the team itself is distributed (the SMEs live where the SMEs live), but with more ambient noise and an hour each way for the 7 miles to the office. Nothing would make me quit faster.
