> The hardest thing about remote work is code review.

code review was done async. and in all practical sense "remote" at all the dozen places I ever worked in an office.

How else do you scale code review on a team of more than 2 people. Get all 5+ people in a room to do code review for a 5 liner?

Thanks for responding. My original point didn’t come across well.

I meant that now we never hang out, we don’t trust each other any more, and code review has suffered as a result.

It’s especially hard for new people joining a team where baseline trust is basically equal to that of Internet stranger.

Huh. How's your hiring process like? Do you hire very young people?

The only time I've seen this happen is when the team used to work in a colocated manner, and then some members started to WFH. Eventually some of those people WFH got too tied into the "home" part of WFH and work suffered. Simultaneously other people in the office just started to treat those WFH as second class citizens as well. This really caused a mess.

If this is what you're seeing, the easiest solution is to just move to a remote only team.

If you want to stay, you need to have a good manager in place who understands these dynamics and can mitigate issues.
