Our hosts are Laksh Sharma and Wassym Nait OubihiToday we’re talking with Roland Tritsch, a software craftsman/engineer/architect/manager, about founding, sustaining, and growing local/remote work environments for globally distributed software teams.· To start, we love your website The Extreme Digital Nomad (TEDN), can you tell us about the meaning behind the title?· So, we are studying global outsourcing and offshoring in digital industry across a range of dimensions of closeness and distance, like cultural, linguistic, political, geographic... Should we think of the virtual/physical as a dimension in its own right? · Talk about the pluses and minuses for both in-office work and work-from-home…· How do you think about organising for remote work? [pod, hub, tribe, squad…]· Let’s take a new-hire, fresh out of college. How do they start and grow their career as a remote worker?· Isn’t it this a recipe for “lonely, wired and tired?” How do you build-in personal well-being…Okay, we’ll end there. Thank you for finding the time to talk to us today. Notes, further reading:Roland’s website and blog: https://tedn.life/Distances - Know them.
