# 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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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
|
|
- **Mexico**: Telmex for stable connections
|
|

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