So, there are a few basic ground rules for remote development, at least as I’ve seen it work:
- The minimum remote team size is two. Always have a buddy, even if your buddy is on another continent halfway across the world.
- Only grizzled veterans who absolutely love to code need apply for remote development positions. Mentoring of newbies or casual programmers simply doesn’t work at all remotely.
- To be effective, remote teams need full autonomy and a leader (PM, if you will) who has a strong vision and the power to fully execute on that vision.
