Time zones still matter though. I have been in same-time-zone remote teams and different-time-zone ones. The dynamic is very different.
Things that take minutes or hours when everyone is on roughly the same schedule, could easily drag on to a multiple day delay in a remote team that crosses many timezones.
As for fully outsourced teams... They always could have done that even before remote work. Other factors seem to affect why that doesn't work.
- mrtksn 3y agoRight, the time zone differences are a hard one. In some places people work in the hours of the client when doing remote work but it's still hard and taxing.

As a matter of fact, even when you chit chat do it in self contained units. You don't know how much time passes till your co workers read your joke in #general.
