(Part 1/2) Remote Work - An Engineer’s Perspective (feat. Jason Crum)

In this podcast episode, Krish interviews Jason Crum, a Senior Enterprise Architect, about remote work from an engineer's perspective. They discuss various aspects of remote work, including pre-pandemic, during pandemic, and post-pandemic experiences, preferences for remote or in-office work, benefits and challenges of remote work, limitations of remote work, social interaction, pairing in remote work, implementing remote work in startups, team dynamics, and challenges of non-engineers in remote teams.

Takeaways

  • Remote work offers flexibility and the ability to manage time effectively.
  • Remote work can limit social interaction and the ability to collaborate in person.
  • Pairing in remote work can be challenging but can also be beneficial for certain tasks.
  • Implementing remote work in startups requires considering team dynamics and ensuring everyone is either remote or in-office.
  • Non-engineers in remote teams may face unique challenges.
