I've been working remotely full-time since 2014, and now I run a company and employ people (mostly programmers) around the world. We've been remote since day zero.

Any valuable knowledge I have about remote work would be eclipsed by the Remote book written by the Basecamp guys, so that's what I'd recommend people read. What I'm reacting to here is the hubris of some people (especially on my LinkedIn feed) to not just share experience but actually give advice on a topic they're completely new to.
