Jeff Atwood, creator of Stack Overflow and blogger extraordinaire, writes about what it takes to make a remote software development team run smoothly.
When I first chose my own adventure, I didn’t know what working remotely from home was going to be like. I had never done it before. As programmers go, I’m fairly social.
