This is definitely a very useful heuristic and one I follow. I might put "Is it supported?" in the first questions group though, especially if the project is for work and you need to be able to get support/troubleshooting que

Nice, have you been working remotely the last few years?

I've found being able to migrate from coffee shop to coffee shop is very effective in helping me get unstuck from problems. Not sure if it's the 15 minute break that comes with traveling to another shop or if it's the change

I'm one hour behind my team so it's pretty easy. We do have some offshore contractors who work from India which is about 10 hours difference I think. We only have about 2-3 hours overlap with them in the morning, but I find that m

I hear that - being a remote worker the social isolation can sometimes get to you. As for online communities - I'm a member of the Remotive.io Slack group which is fairly active (it's a paid subscription). I also recently joined t
