I've seen enough, it's like the NetScape campus 2.0. But I remember
hearing Tor mention it as as reason why he'd not be so interested. All
you really need is a shower, we all know the great ideas comes to us

All my previous tele work has come out of the trust, love and/or
respect of people I have formally worked with in the trenches. I
moved to Sydney from Brisbane and then worked in various parts of the
states. I wouldn't expect any (sane) employer to offer tele work (of
any significant importance)
Don't worry, we're all thinkin' it :)

yeah trust is essential. But then, if you can't trust them, having
them in an office for regular hours helps how? Oh right, that is why
everyone fails...
People ask me this a lot, but I don't have an answer. The most
reliable one (which is not what I do) is essentually freelance of
short term
Maybe trust wasn't the best choice of word. Maybe I mean not just
trustworthy but knowing how they tick, their strengths and
weaknesses and what kind of results you will expect from them -
combined with the kind of work your team (or lack of) does. My former
employers knew they could throw
Yeah, I don't see the trust thing the way most people do either. If you
can't tell whether your getting your money's worth out of your employee
based on what they actually produce rather than how many hours they sit in a
chair, you've got bigger problems.

What should he do to find a job without having to move? I have struggled
with that same question living in the Midwest. All the good jobs seem to be
on the coasts. I lived in Seattle for a couple years and loved working for
Amazon.com. I have to
Use contacts/network to find someone that could use you - make it a
good deal for them - dont necessarily expect fulltime etc... (but be

I'm one of the lucky(?) folks who telecommutes full time. I was
originally a Java developer whose career path seen me end up primarily
developing with ColdFusion (which I would claim is a JVM
language... :)) and a little bit of Java.
In 2005 I moved from Newcastle, Australia to Sydney to work
Just to add to my earlier email. In terms of career development
working from home may not always be the best move. I understand I
would have a developer reporting to me had I been present in the
office, however because I am remote he reports to my manager instead.

I've been trying to get into it as well. Beware some online
telecommuting agency sites. Why is it when most agencies fall over
themselves to get their normal job ads out there these telecommute
sites demand that you pay a subscription fee to join before seeing

Robert's experience is by far the most common - that you gradually get
into a work from home scenario when trust has been gained.
Yup, that has been the case for me as well. I don't really see any
alternative, there are only so many libraries that can to be written

I don't know how you'd get a telecommuting job!
Luckily for me, I have a specialized skillset that has had employers
ask me to work for them. In that case, you have the option of saying
that you don't want to (or, in my case,
Independent consulting/contracting can be a sort of full-time
