Teleport calls itself a 'search engine for digital nomads.'

The book, REMOTE, by 37signals, is out


By Vasudev Ram

The book titled REMOTE, by 37signals, is out.
I had read about it some time ago when they announced they were writing it.
Today I got an email from them announcing that the book is available (in hardcover, ebook and audio book formats, interestingly). The book is about the advantages of remote working / telecommuting, which 37signals uses.

I don't agree with all the statements that 37 Signals makes, but this book should be interesting.

This is the site for the REMOTE book.

There are a few sample chapters available for online reading:

Hey, Marissa Mayer, You’ve Got it Wrong: Telecommuting Isn’t A Bad Thing. It’s The Future. (by Jason Fried)

Why Face-To-Face Meetings Are Overrated. (by Jason Fried)

Cabin fever.

Work From Home - wfh.io - beta

WFH.io - Work From Home Development, Operations, DevOps, and Support Job Listings

Seen via a recent Hacker News thread.

Interesting concept: wfh.io (Work From Home) is a site dedicated to only remote / telecommuting jobs, mainly for software development, operations, devops and customer support. Most of the jobs on the site seem to be for US-based companies, but most of the job posts mention that remote working is okay.

The Python Job Board


By Vasudev Ram

The Python Job Board is a service by and for the Python community / the Python Software Foundation.

Any person or organization can post a job on the Python Job Board, for free, as long as they follow the guidelines given there.

The board also has an RSS feed and a Twitter account, which are linked to from the board's web page.

I have got Python work in the past via the board.

It is a useful resource, including for those who prefer to telecommute.
