We're going remote
I was instantly bullish
Four reasons why
We're going remote
I was instantly bullish
Four reasons why
1/ The Rewards of Pioneering
With time more companies will go remote
We learn how to do it first. How to build. How to lead. How to work.
This is valuable for Shopify
It's also valuable for our careers beyond Shopify

2/ Dislocation of Income & Location
History is the story of mankind migrating the globe chasing economic opportunity
We’re untethering from this constraint
Our ancestors would be awestruck
Do your life's work + live your best life
It's no longer a tradeoff

3/ Rebalancing Face Time
I’ve spent more time with colleagues than I have with my kids
More dinners out with colleagues than with my wife
This makes me sad
Now I can do great work with great people while maximizing face time with the people I love most
This feels right

4/ Successful As Novices
Remote work is working well
In the middle of a pandemic
With no time to prepare
With no experience
With poor tools
It's working and we're not even good at it yet
I'm mesmerized by how well we'll do in the future
