I've thought the same, but is this true?
A shout-out to HN folks w/ experience at full-remote companies: are there hiring and onboarding practices you've used that allow less-experienced hires to be successful when working remotely?

On our full-remote team the #1 onboarding (and ongoing) practice for engineers is near-full-time pair programming.
For engineers who haven't logged many pairing hours before, it requires a few weeks of stamina-building: it's initially exhausting to hold a model in your head while engaging your vocal cords.
One non-obvious but critical tip for continuous pairing: ensure everyone has an excellent audio environment. Buy the right headset, have a door or acoustic foam installed in the home office, etc.

Who needs to hire Junior engineers when you can hire very senior ones at half the price in another part of the country/world?
just like most open source projects.
one of the bad parts IMO is that you can't hire green engineers since they need more hands-on guidance.
