It’s not an unfair set of points and this one rings true harder than most:

> It’s extremely hard to be friends with your co-workers. You have to go out of your way to reach out and be available. Friendships don’t happen “organically” like they do in the office

…because, most people seem to think they can just on their asses all day, don’t post on slack, don’t talk to anyone other than on standup and just get work done.

So many tickets done.

So totally miserable.

I’ve seen first hand so many times the last couple of years. There’s only so much you can do to reach out to people and give them the opportunity to engage.

…but they have to be proactively social.

Some people don’t like that, but it’s the reality of working remotely.

Also, get a standing desk. :)

Sitting all day is bad for you, and it forces you to take breaks.
