Years of fun as remote manager of remote workers
summary
Ten years at 100% remote management of a software team distributed across multiple continents, proving fully remote for a decade scales beyond solo work. Uses concrete practices: explicit rituals (virtual coffee breaks, online onboarding), async tools and documented feedback loops, regular retrospectives and a virtual book club, and open management principles to build trust. Result: sustained hiring, career growth and cross‑border innovation from cultural diversity rather than loss of alignment.
