@pixelp3 cool! Was it a good experience? Did it work well with having a remote manager?

@JackGavigan I love that metaphor. ;) We do need more examples from large companies (like HP and IBM) to show that it can be done.

@stevetsuida a-ma-zing. I would love one of those!

@tim_marsh I agree. What are you doing now that you're no longer with the company?

@rs_felix Yes! I'll be writing a follow-up post on "better remote work" that will apply to home offices.

@tim_marsh Yes. That's the lie: that being in a seat, staring at your screen is "productive". Managing remote workers takes practice.

RT @dhh: No more remote work at Yahoo, http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3453-no-more-remote-work-at-yahoo, is the last thing the company needs. No trust, no brilliance.

@KarenUnland stories! I need to tell more stories! This is a good reminder for me. ;)

@brennandunn ha ha! love this. ;)

@KarenUnland what'd you think?

@lorindaapps you beat me to it!

@lorrainenichols thanks!

How (not) to validate your idea http://buff.ly/13EbacQ

@dquail we should! But times have changed: I'm in the Okanagan now! @stevewandler helped convince me to move (best choice I've made).

@amyhoy not even on your iPhone? ;) I must be a sick, sick person. I like receiving email. Maybe I don't receive enough yet.

@patio11 as in "I don't answer emails from customers on weekends"? (or "I don't answer email from my Great Aunt Gladys on weekends"?)

@dquail here it is. A bit long, but has a historical perspective. Let me know what you think. http://justinjackson.ca/remote-work/ cc @kylefox

@beect that is spooky. I'd sleep with one eye open.

Here it is: Don't call it a comeback http://buff.ly/13AY0gt

@kylefox translation: "Justin, I'm tired of reading all your crap." ;)

@kylefox I'm a predictable blowhard.

@dquail @kylefox I'm writing a blog post response to this now. I'll share it when I'm done. ;)

@grayj_ I need to quote you on that one. ;)

@grayj_ what wasn't working originally? What proved the effectiveness for you?

@grayj_ tell me more: what helped you to change your thinking? @brennandunn

@brennandunn it's interesting, because there could be a market opportunity there, but it would have to for indie debs that want + need help.

@SweatingCommas That's awesome.

@mike_hasarms ha ha. Yes. Beware!

@PaulLetourneau Are you noticing this trend in a specific area? ie. consultants, job applicants, etc… ?

@beect Ha ha. What's the answer? It seems devs dislike marketing because they've had bad experiences with marketing folks. ;)

@beect hmmm. Yes. That's a good point. I meant: "Do developers dislike *doing* marketing."

@PaulLetourneau tell me more: what do you mean by posers?

@beect true. That will be one data point (plus hoping to provoke some discussion) Want to tell me more? https://bizbox.campfirenow.com/20398

@_neckbeard tell me more: why do you dislike the marketing dept?

@evankirby @SweatingCommas tl;dr of this movie industry article http://tldr.io/tldrs/512763888661d9f35c0000f3/hollywood-split-screens

@PaulLetourneau which industry?

Do developers dislike marketing? pick one: Yes http://wedg.me/URyFja or No http://wedg.me/URyFjb

@dchymko thanks!

@dchymko who do you use for SSL certs?

@jordanyeo so far, the only recommendation I've received is @rapidssl

@_neckbeard thanks! I'll check them out.

@Dana_Janssen Hmmm. I have an ABGD religion that makes that not an option. ;)

@nathanburge @raspberrysarah entirely my fault.

Who has the best SSL certificate service? We'd like to change our provider.

@raspberrysarah we made a sponsor tape for @nathanburge. ;) we also both worked at Stony Plain's finest eating establishment (A&W)

@kevinhorek No we only have 4.... Wait a second. I get it.

@raspberrysarah also: @laughingdog_ca and I collaborated on this beautiful mug shot you seen in my twitter profile.

@raspberrysarah did you know: @nathanburge and I made an amateur skateboarding film together.

@joestump you're last two tweets are related… right?
