Good point. We've always been all remote, so I forget about that one, but I'm sure it's significant! When I started it was just me, and then just me and a friend of mine, so obviously didn't make sense to get an office just for us. Then we hired a third person, but again it was easy enough to make it work. For a long time I assumed that at some point I'd eventually have to get serious and get a real office. But then one day I realized... no one was going to make me do that.
It's certainly been a continuous process learning how to effectively manage a remote team (and manage in general), but agreed that at least for us the advantages definitely outweigh the drawbacks. It's actually been nice as remote work has caught on elsewhere, because though it means more competition, it also means much better tools as well as a broader knowledge base to draw on.
