Essential Remote Work Tools for Developers in 2024

After working remotely from 15+ countries, here are the tools that keep me productive anywhere.

Communication & Collaboration

  • Slack/Discord: Team communication
  • Zoom/Meet: Video calls with good mobile data usage
  • Notion: Documentation and project management
  • Figma: Design collaboration

Development Environment

  • VS Code: With Settings Sync enabled
  • GitHub Codespaces: When local setup isn't possible
  • Docker: Consistent environments everywhere
  • Tailscale: Secure access to home lab

Connectivity & Backup

  • Speedtest CLI: speedtest-cli for quick connection checks
  • Multiple ISPs: Always have 2+ internet sources
  • VPN: Essential for accessing geo-restricted services
  • Power Bank: 20,000mAh minimum for long coding sessions

Productivity Hacks

# My daily setup script
#!/bin/bash
speedtest-cli
git status
docker-compose up -d
code .

Location-Specific Tips

  • Thailand: AIS has the best coverage
  • Indonesia: Telkomsel for reliability
  • Portugal: MEO fiber is excellent

The key is redundancy - always have backups for your backups!
