A $100 investment doesn't seem much and it's more like a kudos, but it is an investment. I agree that more information can help anyone determine better how to choose between startup A or B.

I've been using PushBullet for years. Great product! It's not fair what big companies are doing to what it seems to be, prioritizing their own features over third party well-built products. It's abusive.

We found that when you have a huge set of keys on Redis it is best to use SCAN and asynchronous operations or you'll block your database.

Operations on Redis utils right now are Count, Set Expire, Migrate, and Oldest Key.

Completely agree! Being remote in a non-remote company is one of the hardest things as those companies don't have procedures in place for keeping everyone in the loop.

On the guide, we wrote we have by default ALLOW ANY, DENY SOME. If you are online then you can be interrupted unless you set your status to the headphone emoji.

Otherwise posting office hours may force the idea of how many office hours each person is doing and that's not something we want to measure.

It depends on which things you need to measure based on the type of company you have or you want. A D2C company clearly needs a fixed amount of office hours where a SaaS company may not.

Remote companies come with a redefinition of what a social workplace is and how you get to know someone. In my past years, I've mostly worked remote and still I think I know the people I've worked with very well.

Communicating regularly every day and doing things like online gaming or company retreats can help to redefine social interactions.

The support system is really important, if you are remote it should mean that you prefer to be close to your support system. If you are not, then something is wrong and that's going to be a challenge.
