06/10/2019, 9:14 AMI've been reading up this topic a lot lately. Basically, the only major downside of remote work is isolation.
Without a doubt it's a big one but still nowhere close to outrun the benefits provided by remote working.

I think remote working is also a social change and it makes most sense in developing and large countries where it plays really well with lifestyle, culture and economy.

06/10/2019, 12:09 PM@refined-vegetable-38843 thanks for sharing man, one of the best articles I've read in a while on remote work! He went really deep , found the actual problems and gave solid action items to work on 🙂
If anyone is working remotely and stays in Mumbai/Bangalore, let me know and I'd be happy to help in setting up remote communities in these areas for sure

06/11/2019, 4:53 AMSocial aspect suffers when working remote. When not remote, 80% of our social sphere revolves around our co-workers. You take that away, you take away the social circle. As Himanshu said, this acted as a forcing function for me to improve my smalltalk abilities with those around me. Coworking spaces are a good place for this. But if you’re not in one, forcing yourself to spend quality time outside work hours in an activity in your neighborhood goes a long way as well.
