Switching my company to remote. It was a gradual process but it worked and now we’re fully remote and everybody seems happy with no exceptions.

I can’t take full credit but we also switched to doing 6 week project cycles[0] and pitches inspired by Basecamp.

Sort of did this at my previous job by being senior and in a good position and communicating that I’d be working from home first 1, then 2, then 3 days a week. Other team members with long commutes followed (it made sense to avoid in-person meetings the days I wasn’t there, so then other devs would also wfh..) and the company invested in better tech, software and processes for remote working. Talked with a former colleague who is now 4 days a week remote - when I started he spent 3h/day in the car.
