Hi! I'm one of the two
[[creators of this site|users]].
I like [writing](https://schmonz.com),
[podcasting](https://agilein3minut.es),
[coaching](https://latentagility.com/bio), and
[ikiwiki](https://schmonz.com/tag/ikiwiki). :-)

I'm interested in remote Agile because, so far, I've only seen it work with people who already get local Agile. I hope there are other ways it can work and I want to learn about (and contribute to) them.

I'm interested in [[Extreme Programming|xp]] because, so far, it's the only way I've felt Agile really working.

### Reminder to self: these are some topics to write about

- `ssh` + `tmux`
- Morning standup
- "physical" card wall
- backup internet from a cellular provider
- working from a home office, a coworking space, or anywhere at all
- new team (designing itself for distributed) vs existing team (changing to distributed)
- one or two remote people vs. everyone's remote (there's no one place
  it would even make sense to go to)
- forced vs opt-in, as applied to people being far away from each other
