Remote work

Had practice since I worked on MagArena remotely since 2011.

Started paid remote work since 2014, with Cosmiqo.

No issue, no work

Code review instead of pair programming

• working over the Internet from anywhere in the world
• elance, upwork: platforms to hire freelancers to work remotely
• full-time remote work as an employee
• you’ve already done it if you have done project work in school
• pros
  • save time by working from home
  • results oriented
  • flexible hours
• cons
  • lack of social interaction
    • fix: attend meetups, external events
  • don’t get to interact with colleagues
    • fix: setup team building exercise during meetings)
  • work life and home life start getting mixed together
    • fix: have fix boundaries, eg close the door when working
