No problem! I appreciate criticisms and perspectives as long as they're constructive! Titles are really hard for me so feedback is good. Thanks for reading it!

Thanks!
Great reply btw. I think there really is something to remote work once everything starts working together. But it's definitely a more than one ingredient cake.

Now that I'm back off the top page, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone! I really enjoyed the dialog and hopefully we can all talk more next time!

In my humble experience, I've found that there are two paths that seem to be traversed and work. 1. It doesn't matter how many people work remotely but everyone is committed to participating and communicating through distributed means(chat, email, etc). That usually works pretty well. 2. Depending on the company culture, you'll need to have different amounts of the work force remote to get critical mass of adoption.

There was a good comment about how I used the terms "perk" and "dream" that was made. (https://medium.com/@martinb3/i-think-you-ve-come-up-with-som...) I agree with this. I could be wrong but I think a lot of people view it that way. I had hoped that the article would bring the tone around to make it sound less like a "dream" or a "perk" and more like a work environment decision. Either way excellent point!

Thanks for commenting! That's true, I do have a whiteboard within arms reach in my home office. Sometimes I'll take a picture of it and send it along when talking about a problem.

haha, I'll take the blame, I probably should format it better.

Yeah sorry if my GOOD/BAD wasn't clear. But I was trying to convey that if that's the kind of response a company gives then you should take it as a warning. I've had companies say things like that in interviews when I asked them questions about remote communication and I think it means their management has not matured yet.

So just googling around I found this and it seems to work pretty good.

I had really good luck with the one built into google hangouts. I think it depends on what you're trying to convey. Sometimes just sharing mockups works really well too.

Yeah, I agree. I updated the title here, but I just need to pay more attention to titles+content in general I think. I'm trying to get back into blogging so I really like this feedback!
Also, I totally agree on the being the first employee is a tough one. I've done that 2 times now and it's not easy.
