Remote Work

Our guest today is Sean Merron - a seasoned software engineering leader. Together we dig into some of the unique challenges involved in remote work - a capability that has developed rapidly over the last several years. Because the expansion has been so rapid, it's useful to ask questions about its efficacy as a method for delivering software. With the agile manifesto, the idea of the superiority of in-person communication took hold. As we got experience with building asynchronously, and possibly more importantly, with the advancement of the tooling, that superiority may hold, but perhaps in a less absolute sense.

Join us as we ask these questions and mine out some of the useful related techniques that come from the software development trenches.
