Super article Emma Wain this really hit deep! I agree with everything you just said. It's so important to engage with other people and join communities more so if you are a remote worker. Tech Twitter, Discord and all of these blog websites like Hashnode are essential tools that every developer should be using.
When I first started remote working I never felt that lonely because I was already a part of these communities so I knew that I could reach out to anyone and it could really make my day.
And I am so happy to have joined EddieHub I can't wait to engage more on there 😁
