In the software industry we hear a lot of discussion about
the pros and cons of remote work, and a recent outbreak of that
finally got me to write my thoughts down. I point out that
there's distinct patterns of remoteness, which yield different
trade-offs and varied techniques to make them work. I recognize
that we lack any conclusive evidence on effectiveness, but sense
that most people are more productive when co-located, but even
so organizations can build more productive teams with a remote
working structure.
