Really appreciate the emphasis on requiring 5x the process when working as a remote team. Prior the team I now lead I've only worked on co-located teams and it has certainly required some resetting of expectations on my end. Even though I've got a very talented small team I'm learning that we do need a level of process and protocol that feels much more "big-company" in order to work efficiently. Would love any more insights on practical elements you've added in terms of process that have worked well.

Great article!

Just throwing this out there - the animated gifs are cool and fun but make reading the text next to them almost impossible.

I second this, very distracting considering how the human brain works.

Any good books you can recommend? Most of what I've seen is about "offshoring" rather than "remote-first" situations, I'm about to build a team using the later and want all the reading material I can get my hands on.

Thanks for a great article!

I have not read it but it's by Jason Friend and DHH: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C0ALZ0W/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?...

Lisette Sutherland's book is very practical and very thorough https://www.amazon.com/Work-Together-Anywhere-Remotely-Succe...

Also this free ebook from Valentina Thörner from the support team at Automattic is helpful for managers creating remote teams. https://valentinathoerner.com/from-a-distance-book-remote-le...
