Lessons Learned From My Hamster

Every once in a while people approach me and ask what it takes to start working remotely, so I figured I could turn my talk into a short post. First of all, remote work isn't a silver bullet! Don't assume that all companies will become 100% remote in...

Personal Blog Analytics - Which Numbers Really Matter and Why Medium Analytics Sucks
