I am a big proponent of remote hiring and working - good for the developer, and if done right, good for the company.

But boy it takes some work to get a remote worker as productive and plugged in as an onsite worker.

But the very minute the whole company is not on one site, remote is the only way to go. Got two sites and no remote ethos - congratulations you now have two companies. Got two floors on the same building and no remote ethos - hooray, two companies.

it's a management and cultural shift - measuring by results, good upfront grooming, in estment in tools, reducing schedule pressure, quality above all else - the list is long
