Pre COVID I joined an all remote startup as a very experienced first employee .. phone calls / skyping / email throughout each day always minimum length and minimum participation as needed... the project flourished beautifully... same approach is valid today for similar very early startups key is only highly productive engineers with track record of fully independent powerful problem solving never any coding questions as a service during hiring I've been fully remote for over a decade and never again will take any on location requirement jobs I taught myself coding by myself while working on a ship pre Internet just me and some books... more important than experience early on is creativity and can do attitude coupled with fortitude and perseverance... I have never assumed failure was bad instead a learning opportunity
