Analysing my own productivity over a period of 10 years, there is a direct correlation between productivity and percentage of time spent working from home, proving WFH significantly increases productivity for me.
This is an outstanding talk. I've watched it twice now as there is much useful information packed into it. Really well delivered as well; genuinely one of the best I've seen on remote working. Huge thanks to GOTO for recording the talk and Charles for writing and presenting it.
Fantastic talk, really appreciate all the practical tips, and especially the points addressing burnout and loneliness. Too many HR departments forget that the H stands for human...
Excellent talk!! Working remotely as a software engineer is the perfect fit for a horse person. Especially for an literature major (language skills) and former music performance major: eight to ten hours a day in a practice room is great prep for flow. Best mitigation on the planet is a horse boarded at a friendly barn. Mental health, exercise, nature, companionship (horses and people), and a nice short drive through the countryside so you can get the long view. I live on the US east coast and have worked for companies in silicon valley and Europe. Worst was coordinating with a team in Beijing. It was the only time in my working life that burnout started becoming an issue.
The big problem I see with remote work is that if your organization already didn't have a strong collaborative culture within teams, having people working remotely will only increase that problem. Too many companies already use the Open Source model of contributing across their own teams, for their own Closed Source products, instead of having team members collaborate, really work together, to create software and it is damaging the industry. I am all for remote work, but make sure you have a culture of collaborating instead of contributing, foster it and better it.

Thank you very much for speaking @Humble and for making these talks public @GOTO Conferences.
Great talk. Wish I could go to GOTO.
Thank you!

Thank you for your kind comments. I'm really glad you enjoyed the talk
Excellent catalyst to think what we do daily and in which circumstances we work remotely - no wonder, also, that it's often hard and frustrating.
You add the extensive experience to remote work that most of us don't have (yet).
Wonderful presentation (content & style).
Thank you.

Both the company, and its managers, need to
exhibit transparency and be prepared to be
vulnerable
So... it's not going to work.
