I think remote work makes more sense the more stable the development pathway is. the more cross function work, the more uncertainty, and maybe the higher the required velocity, the more important it seems to be able to have impromptu discussions. I find I spend a few hours a week just catching up on things I'm missing in the office while working remotely. and when I do go in, I'll learn something that causes a total pivot in my understanding of a business need.

that said, I never have had as much deep focus as when I'm working from home, in particular in the evenings. really important discoveries are made there too. so I think having both is optimal. and above all, having a flexible job is something I've come to expect for work-life harmony.

I kinda like it how we do where I am working now, and we're doing highly exploratory work. We have an ongoing call throughout the day where people kinda join up, and a lot of impromptuu discussion is done in this way. It's not mandatory, but most of us just chill there, mute and webcam on or off, depending on the mood, and kinda work.

It's super natural to just ping someone in chat and if it's the case, you can share the screen and if anyone else is interested they're already there and can just throw an eye. If the discussion is annoying you, you can just mute and focus, but most of the times if it's a longer discussion, we make a split conversation and rejoin main after we do the back and forth.

Really natural way of doing things and I can work from anywhere with people from anywhere, as long as we can get some overlap with the daily calendar group chat, which is very easy to do given its immovable nature.
