I've been working from home for most of the past 15 years, and I've worked at some companies that had remote-first development teams and some where development started in-the-office and then branched off into remote. I believe in the former there was more understanding of: 1. Providing useful context up-front 2. No "hello" message sent while waiting for further input to be typed in 3. More emphasis on written communication 4. Less of a need to jump on a video conference 5. Use of headsets for video conferences In some of the latter cases, the "office-first teams" still had management working out of the office and I believe that remote employees are kind of second-class citizens in these cases, and I found it less enjoyable and less productive to be a remote dev in that sort of situation. I believe also that headsets for video conferences allows for full-duplex conversations where one or more people can talk at once and be heard, but I've not seen anybody else talk about this and may be wrong.
