Interesting read.

I recently moved to a country with a low cost of living whilst continuing my old webdevelopment role as part of a remote team.

Some things that we do:

  - daily short standup on google hangout
  - everyone is available on an instant messenger when working
  - every office/home office has a continuous webcam feed going on over google hangout
  - remote pairing (not the biggest myself)

Planning to do a writeup of my findings as soon as I pass the six months mark.

We've talked about doing this with my all-remote team, but it seems incredibly invasive. How has your experience been?

You could probably have a dedicated conference room or similar which would ensure that you could easily "Go to the teleconference room!" while ensuring that you didn't have a pervasive big brother feeling.

For me it did not feel very invasive, but I did buy an external webcam so I could get some distance between me and the camera.

It felt a bit like sitting at an office, people can look at me there as well.
