The Ultimate List of Resources for Remote Workers

Since the acquisition of my previous startup 5 years ago, I’ve been working remotely and loving it. I’m now the founder of Microverse, an online school for remote software developers where we teach our students how to take advantage of opportunities regardless of where they are.

This guide is a living collection of resources that I often use or recommend to other people who want to become remote workers.
