- push for remote first if you want to attract top talent, since people are not moving cities just for a job
- ask companies to back up in office mandates with real data instead of vague feelings about collaboration
- build community instead of culture on remote teams by keeping conversations public and minimizing private channels
- add value before you ask for anything, whether raising money, networking, or trying to get hired
- build and show real projects instead of just a portfolio, since demonstrated work speaks louder than claims
