Hi, Matt. I hope you’ll also consider publishing a post about the intentional approach to culture at Automattic. I think other organizations dealing with this period of social distancing would find it helpful. Aside from how to work remotely, I think y’all have a lot of insight to share on how to support your humans when their situations require flexibility at work. Thanks!

Came to the blog through Kevin Roose’s NYT article and I see both sides: we do need flexible options and working in an office can be fraught with challenges (right now, 4 of my colleagues in our open-office plan are eating smelly lunches and talking at the top of their voices which is why I abandoned work and started reading blogs) but I would miss the creativity, fun and simple human contact one gets in the oft-maligned office environment.

[…] Hace unos días lei uno de los últimos post de Matt Mullenweg, para el que no lo conoce, es el fundador de WordPress y Automattic entre otros proyectos, creo que merece ser compartido, no solo por que es uno de los procursores del trabajo remoto, si por lo controversial que se vuelve en casos donde el contacto con otras personas puede perjudicarnos, dejo la traducción al español aquí abajo, y el link al post original.

Great post, thank you for sharing. I must say that as an educator and leader in China, I have found the response of EdTech companies fantastic – offering their platforms and resources for free. I just listed the ones I have found so far in a recent post – would be fantastic for more educators to see that and share their own findings. This is yet another silver cloud to this whole situation; the opportunity/neccesity to connect with like-minded professionals has really come to the surface.

Great post Matt, My wife and I both work from home but also have guest accommodation on our farm, this week we have brought in extra feed for our livestock in case of having to self isolate. Things like greeting guests without a handshake and fully sanitising all surface areas of our accommodation including light switches door handles and hand rails, but then in the wider context of living on a farm handwashing routines have to be the cenral protection for all activities.
