The Art of Remote
summary
Claim: remote teams scale if hiring focuses on measurable outcomes and communication habits not visibility. Evidence: hired 100+ developers across three remote companies and consultancy work with dozens of Fortune 500s. Tactics that actually work: track your time, keep a strict routine, and guarantee at least one hour daily overlap across time zones. Warnings include onboarding difficulties, security/legal limits on sensitive work, and social isolation that conferences or local meetups must solve.
