Unexpected lessons from working with remote engineers

[Raugg]

<p>Has anyone else learned something unexpected from working with remote engineers? I used to think time zones would be the hardest part, but honestly, it’s the small communication habits that surprised me most. I’ve had to get way better at writing clear messages and documenting things. My first remote project turned into a mess just because half of us assumed everyone else “got it.” Curious what kind of lessons others picked up along the way.</p>

<p>I’ve noticed that remote setups kind of reveal everyone’s real work style. Some people thrive with flexibility, others struggle without instant feedback. It’s funny how you can learn so much about collaboration just by seeing how people handle autonomy. I feel like once a team gets that rhythm right, distance barely matters anymore.</p>
