      Companies will learn a lot about themselves from having everyone work from home. Some (e.g. GitLab, obviously) will do fine. Others will be brought to their knees. The latter will have to make changes, and some of those changes will be permanent.

      It will be like re-implementing a program in a new language. They'll discover big chunks of dead and duplicate code.

      It might be a good idea, within companies that are large enough, to assign a specific person to study what can be learnt from the experience. It's an ill wind that blows no good.

          probably we will learn that there isn’t anywhere near the capacity on the internet in residential areas for everyone to be using it at the same time

          There is a major upside to this terrible virus. The world is getting a peek into the future. Where supply chain vulnerabilities are, some are learning how to work from home. It's like a speed run into the new future of disconnected countries and workplaces.

          For any bigco people reading this thread and thinking "hey, we should do that": @darrenmurph and his team at @gitlab are your pattern. Send him a DM!

          Thanks! I architected dozens of guides to doing remote well, all public in the @gitlab handbook. From meetings to async to informal communication and beyond. If you're that bigco, read them, implement them, and contribute your own learnings to them. 🌏https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/what-not-to-do/ …

          Agreed! Study, but also document and provide real-time guidance in the spirit of iteration. Going remote isn't a switch you flip. It's a journey. All remote teams should consider a documentarian (baseline), and a head of remote (if feasible).https://about.gitlab.com/company/culture/all-remote/transition/#how-do-you-transition-a-hybrid-team-to-a-fully-remote-team …

          To discover the best practices of remote work, we created http://pratix.co  You can then reuse it to create your own set of remote work practices. Remote work is a major trend, we want to make it easy for people to know how to do it properly.
