Something I have been struggling with as a remote software engineer is 1. getting reviews from coworkers and 2. being able to communicate asynchronously with coworkers, even those working on the same projects. I find some of my coworkers are quite good, but others much less so. Sometimes I've waited 48 hours to hear back on a DM, and in other cases 3-4 weeks before getting reviews on PRs. It feels like in a remote environment it's so much easier to ignore other people that you work with.

But if WFH creates extra friction that doesn't exist in-office, that's an extra resource drain that ought to be accounted for.
