I have been working remotely for six years now, and in that time I have worked for companies located in several US states.

These companies ranged in size from 6 to 2000 employees.

Here's what I've learned about remote work during this time:

🧵 There are a lot of great things about working remotely.

For one, you can work from anywhere in the world.

This means that if you want to live in a different country or even just a different city, you can do so without having to find a new job.

As the world changes, so too must the way businesses operate.

In the past, production lines were created in order to increase efficiency.

With the advent of big data, social media, and cloud computing, there is a new opportunity for businesses to enhance their efficiency.

🧵 In the past, businesses have been limited by their ability to process data.

With big data, businesses now have the ability to collect and analyze vast amounts of data.

This allows them to identify trends and patterns that would otherwise be hidden.

Hey @localhost876 that's a really good question. This is how I would go about determining the appropriate price for a website, app, or any other product.

1. The cost of your time: How much is your time worth? This includes the time you spend working on the project..

as well as the time you spend on administrative tasks like billing and invoicing.

2. The cost of your materials: Evaluate the cost of things like hosting, domain names, and software licenses.

Looking back on my tech career, I am remembering when I was paid $200 USD to build a whole college website 😂😂😂😂

When I first learned web design in college, I was really excited about it.

I was so pumped to start building websites and getting paid for my work. I was referred to another college that wanted to build a website, and I took the job without thinking too much about it.

So my friend and I built out a 10-page website for them, as well as an application system.

As a programmer, I work out five times each week to boost my coding skills.

Here’s why you should too. Most people think of coding as a sedentary activity, but the truth is it requires a lot of mental and physical stamina.

After all, coders need to be able to concentrate for long periods while sitting in front of a computer screen.

Why remote work rocks:

Work from anywhere.

No commute.

Unlimited income potential.

10 more reasons why working remotely is awesome: 1. You can take breaks whenever you want/need to.

2. You can design your own office space.

3. You get to control your own work schedule.

4. You can take advantage of global work opportunities.

Watercooler chat is the secret sauce of happy, productive teams.

But it's too informal for corporate environments.

Here's how digital tools like Slack and Donut solve that problem: Every week, I get to meet multiple coworkers from all across the globe with a bot in our Slack called donut - donut.com

Back in 1999, when everyone was still using Nokia 5110s, my dad climbed a breadfruit tree to get a phone signal.

Then everything changed when the Nokia 3310 was released in 2000.

My dad could finally talk to people without having to go outside.

Though it was basic by ....🧵 .... today's standards, it had a lot of features that made it amazing.



For one, it had long battery life, so you could go days without having to charge it.



It also had a tough build, so it could withstand being dropped or thrown around.

I have gotten a few requests to share some websites that advertise remote roles.

At 23 I got my first remote job as a Mobile Software Engineer.

A particular local bank didn't want to open a US bank account for me.

They thought I was a scammer. 😔

Here's the crazy story of how it went down in the thread below 🧵🧵🧵 The year is 2016 and after months of applying, I have landed my first remote role.

Bustling with happiness, I take a taxi to Old Harbour Square, printed offer letter in hand to open my first US account.

@yaneekpage Hi Yaneek! Great questions. I am actually working on a comprehensive guide on Learning How To Code in 2022 as we speak, that I plan to release as a thread or video that will go in-depth. Once it is done I will link it here for more awareness. I will answer the questions below. @yaneekpage 1. From a training path standpoint, I would recommend that they follow a guided program that is well resourced and has a community behind it. Self-learning is no easy feat therefore subscribing to a guide will make things easier.

I will be sharing the 10 guiding principles I utilized to level up from being a Junior Developer of an app with 250 users to a Senior Software Engineer powering apps with over 100 million downloads.

This comprehensive thread dives into the details 🧵 1. Be realistic about where you are.

“If you don't know where you are going any road can take you there” - Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland.

Before I applied to a job or pushed a single line of code to open source I always assessed my skills.

1/ Yesterday I launched my first Youtube video🙌🏿 Here is a thread of all the equipment I procured to get the job done in case anyone is interested in doing a similar setup for Youtube, video calls, or live streams. Thread 🧵📸🎥

I had one of the coolest experiences at @amazon go. A supermarket powered by AI where there are no lines or checkouts. You grab the stuff you want and go [ Thread ] So to get inside you go to the Amazon go app and scan your barcode and it opens.
