I agree with most of the points here. They make all the difference. The audio is too often underestimated.

Very interesting maturity model about proper communication in a remote work setup. I think it definitely makes sense and doesn't feel too difficult to evaluate.

Once again GitLab has plenty of good advice for operating remotely. This time it is about meetings which are obviously part of life in an organisation. And actually, quite some of the good tips also apply to in person meetings.

A good way to frame the possible models for your organization regarding remote work. The GitLab Handbook stays a very good resource regarding remote work, they really thought about it and documented their findings.

Interesting trick for remote teams. There are many ways to try to get back the "water cooler talk" in your organization, it's the first I encounter structured like this.

Good summary of the different possible options around remote work.

A bit shallow, but there's good advice to get started. Very often the quality of the communication medium is underestimated.

A bit biased toward stable product teams only. Still, there are good tips which are more widely applicable here. This gives a good idea of the management of a distributed team of remote workers.

Interesting story. This is getting harder to hire for remote positions I guess.

When you're distributed, this is all about asynchronous communication. You can't walk to a person desk (and you should probably avoid it anyway if colocated).

Interesting report about distributed and remote work at Atlassian. They really did their homework. I recommend reading the whole report, they came up with a few original ideas.

Interesting report. Apparently so far a more widespread use of remote work doesn't seem to boost of hinder productivity growth at large scale.

Looks like remote work is here to stay for good now.

Yes, we definitely shouldn't use chats as the phone. I often fails at this, it's also a good reminder for me.

Those who listen (not mandate) to their employees and hire whatever the location will come out on top. It'll require planning real estate ahead of course but the writing is probably on the wall.

Kind of overlooking the cost of producing videos in my opinion. That being said, if you keep videos out of the picture this little article is spot on. Remote work is about more asynchronous and longer form communication first.

Remote work is clearly the best way for smaller companies to compete to attract talent. This greatly increases the size of the pool of potential hires.

Clearly a bit US centric but interesting trends nonetheless. We might see some of that reaching Europe (for good and for bad) fairly quickly. At least regarding hybrid work, flexible offices and more asynchronous communication, I've seen it globally spread already.

So much this, managing notifications and making sure not to get disturbed when we need to focus is essential in our line of work.

Indeed, this is the most important skill we need next to coding. Especially in a remote work culture.
