Why Remote Work Should Change Startup Culture
I've made a career out of remote work (10+ years working remotely), and I have to say this is a pretty poor article.No, remote work is not for everyone, you need to know what you are doing at both ends or it'll not match your expectations.No, it does not (necessarily) bring the best global talent, specially not if your motivation for remote is bringing down costs.And no, you don't need to use any of the tools listed. Remote work has been done, and  well, with nothing more than a VCS and email  (both conspicuously absent from her list) for decades. Add to it any kind of real-time communication client and you're in business.It seems to me "remote" or "remote first" have become buzzwords, yet another way for companies to appear fashionable. Witness the numerous companies that advertise non-existent remote positions, or that "will consider remote for the right person" (i.e. for no one).Remote is not the latest fad, it's something we've been doing in this industry for at least two decades. Your company is not young and hip for doing it.
