It&#x27;s a challenge. These are a few things you should look out for:<p>* Feedback: when you have a boss&#x2F;leader close by, they may be able to give you more immediate feedback in case there&#x27;s something you&#x27;re not doing right or if there&#x27;s a better way to do it. You can partially overcome that via regular check-ins.<p>* Mentoring: as mentioned by smt88, you learn a lot by observing how other people approach their tasks, and talking to them e.g. over lunch. You can do that partially in a remote setting (e.g. observing their commits, chatting, etc.) but it won&#x27;t be as effective.<p>* Bouncing ideas: it often helps a lot to be able to quickly chat with someone (particularly if more experienced and&#x2F;or more knowledgeable of the existing system and domain) -- sometimes a few minutes of conversation can help you get a better idea of how to solve a problem.<p>In short, I think this is not impossible to overcome, it&#x27;s just harder, particularly when you&#x27;re getting started.<p>You may want to find out if there are meetups in your local area that you can join to be able to talk with other developers. That might help a bit.
