I think remote work could be picking up even faster if it wasn’t for these 3 issues:

- People tend to conflate remote work with async work. Most companies, managers and also developers don’t actually want to work async though.

- The tooling isn’t there yet.

- People expect that being remote means being undistracted and invisible which feels good but harms social cohesion

What makes you say that the tooling isn't there yet?

Do you know of a tool which allows two (or more) people to share their screens with each other at the same time?

i.e. A can see (at least) one of B's screens, and B can see (at least) one of A's screens at the same time as talking to them.

That's the tool I'm missing to be able to work productively remotely.

You can only realistically look at one person's screen at a time, but if you really need this feature, Zoom supports it: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115000424286-Shari...

Cheap, connected whiteboards that feel snappy, cheap conference mics that can cover a mid-size room while filtering out the reverb, always-on video communication tools (@TandemHQ is going into a good direction there).

All in all, most remote communication is still going through a single, small screen, that seems very limiting to me.
