[tr-gitlab]

I'm still new to the all remote lifestyle, but so far I have really been loving it. I work for GitLab, which is entirely all remote and has no central office space. I suspect that may be different from a hybrid approach.

Aside from the benefits of being able to be around more with my family and to better handle life events, I've found that I enjoying working this way much more.

Working asynchronously forces people to really think about how and what they communicate. I've found that people, including myself, are much more prepared and thoughtful in their work.

I also find that there are way less distractions and that meetings with my coworkers are much more enjoyable. I thought I would have a hard time with the random 'coffee chat' but have come to really value them. It's a great way to be social and meet people, without the pressure of having to do it every day.
