How is it working for you not being left out from team discussions, like unplanned discussions which often happen randomly at the coffee machine?

I have been working in a team, where we were dislocated from our main office, and sometime working remotely while traveling.

If you experience some in-balance in communication between the people working on-site and you hiring more remote developers might be an interesting solution. I've heard that it is easier to avoid leaving out the remote people, if more than half is working remotely. But I guess as you were working well together before, and know each other for quite some time it might be less of an issue compared to when start working together remotly from the beginning.

Well, our team is indeed already well tuned-in and we're also very lucky that we all get along great. We are a real team, not a few devs who are forced to work on the same code. I think that's a big plus.

I think the people in the team make or break the remoteness of team members.
