Great! Keep in mind that's what coworking spaces are for: people with different jobs/interests and from different companies working alongside each other. If they work there it most likely means they're open to having conversations with other people as well. I'm sure you'll definitely hit it off with a few of them. Best of luck to you!

Hey Eric, I'm a dev from France and for various reasons I'm going to try and change jobs by the end of the year (my actual job is also my first one, I graduated 2 years ago and been doing it since). Thank you for your entry, I find it interesting because I've been seriously considering to find a remote position since there aren't that many opportunities around me anyway. But since I've never done it, I'm kind of dreading exactly what you're talking about. I guess working remotely is indeed socially challenging, you have to make more efforts to create connections with others, and if I did that I'd definitely go to a coworking space (and/or hang-out at coffee places) instead of staying home. Also if your team is working as one in another place I guess it's pretty easy to feel left out. However I find it odd that there isn't anyone you can talk about something technical in your coworking space... are you the only dev there? If so, I'd consider switching to another space. If not, then I'd definitely make small efforts to connect with them, I definitely think it would help you. Does anyone else here work remotely (or used to) and would like to share their experience?

Thanks a lot, that's really useful! In a language that does support multiple inheritance, and where we don't need our behaviour to change at runtime, would you still recommend using this pattern instead?
