What’s your experience with distributed development?

  Compared to team work in an office, working together over the Internet
  tends to be more loose, as people work on different schedules--It gives
  individual developers more freedom (work-life balance) and responsibility
  but also demands more self motivation and for managers it's harder to
  monitor progress.

What is your advice for distributed development teams?

  1. Work only with people that you can trust.
  2. Put your all your development computers on a hoster so they are
  directly accessible from the Internet.  This makes maintaining build
  environments much easier.  (For security reasons you should use ssh with
  private keys when accessing those computers.)  Make your computers
  clonable, so it's easy to give them a build environment when new
  developers join a team.

  3. Design the architecture of your software so that people can be the
  most productive without needing to wait for other developers.  (eg on
  MySites we separated the data aggregation and the GUI so that they are
  completely separate, data aggregation happens in Ruby and GUI
  representation is done in JavaScript)

  4. Use an encrypted platform like Skype for chatting and instead of doing
  phone calls

  5. Use 'screen -x' when working together with individual developers on
  their build environment.

We keep reinventing mysites to make it even more useful for all of us.

I never stop being surprised how diverse the usage of mysites is: irantoday or alexmytunes.
