Another interesting experience on remote/smart working in a fully distributed enterprise. This time not from a digital technician, but by a project manager.

In a remote company how successful you are depends on your results. Nobody cares where you are and how you work, as long as things happen when expected and as promised.

If you are in the IT field of work you know  Stack Overflow, there is no doubt about it.
So you know how valuable and important it is in the scene and you simply love it.

In this video Oded Coster, Software Engineer @Stack Overflow  talks about how Stack Overflow works for the technical side, but also how his team works.

The video, taken from the Cloud Conf, is interesting on the whole but if you want to focus on the smart working side just watch between 4:40 – 10 min circa

An italian TV show talks about remote working

Leave a reply

I do not like television. It’s almost ten years I don’t have one, but undeniably in Italy, it’s still the most powerful media. So the fact that a TV show talks about remote working can only be a positive thing.

Here’s the original post.
(both the post and the show are only in italian)

My remote work career began in a web agency where I worked for more than 12 years, in Italy. Working hours had always been flexible but at the beginning I always worked in the agency. So after more or less five years I took courage and I asked my manager if it was possible for me to try to manage 1/2 days a week  by myself.
