I worked remotely for years, then went back to an office environment, now am fully remote again.
If it's up to me, I'm going to be a remove senior dev for the rest of my life. No more offices.
There is absolutely no need. I work on very complex projects and am disciplined, but outside of that there is nothing special required. I discuss issues via Slack, we have occasional team video/voice chats when discussing issues that involve the whole team, and then carefully track issues in JIRA.
Can I play video games all day? Yes, and if the work doesn't get done I'll be fired. It's the same as being in an office. You get assigned work, you either do it or you don't do it, and if it's good and ready when it's due you either do more work or you're fired.
Zero issues with any of it ... and I'm not going back.
exactly, in a few office jobs i either had a private office or i was sharing a room with people who were not on my team. i could have played games or commenting on hackernews all day without anyone noticing, or i could have worked just as well from home or anywhere else.
