A lot of that, especially points 1-3 depend on if you work with other people synchronously or asynchronously. At my current job we all try to work as much synchronously as possible, so there is no real difference from any other "office job", except everyone is in different location (we all are in roughly the same timezone), and we don't have to commute. We focus on trying to keep sanity, and keep working hours (my experience is that it helps a lot when working remotely)

For shops that allow/ or just work asynchronously, other arrangements need to be made to allow that. Usually more and more stuff is written and stored, so everyone can join and leave any moment.

There is a similar book being worked on by other ruby-remote working company: Arkency, http://blog.arkency.com/2013/09/arkency-survival-guide-to-ef...
