Work from anywhere?

WFH

I’ve been reading about how distributed companies are operating.  Companies with their servers running in the cloud don’t need a server room, or Office premises at all it seems.  And there’s lots of them.

As a worker wouldn’t you like to skip the commuting?  As an employer wouldn’t you like to hire from more than just the local area? These companies are using a combination of (largely open source) team work tools and practices/behaviours to make it work.
