Remote work is the future if you ask me. There are lots of successful companies that are fully remote. Gitlab, Basecamp, Buffer, InVision, etc.
🎉Team Hashnode is also working 100% remotely 🎉
I recommend everyone to read REMOTE: Office Not Required before deciding whether to go remote. Some people don't like that style of work and prefer face-to-face communication most of the time, while some people love it. It all depends on the person.
I'm 100% for remote work. My productivity has increased immensely and I have the chance to work for any company in the world while enjoying Novi Sad and work-life balance.

Edit: Thanks for the inspiration Peter Lake! I just blogged about this topic 😃
