As a remote worker myself, totally pumped to see more people able to take advantage of an arrangement I know to be more productive and beneficial to all parties. Great article!

One thing I've noticed though re: introvert/extrovert, it's often not as simple as "introverts are better at remote work".

I totally agree on the processing of external stimuli. I've known many introverts who describe dealing with/processing that at any length as "exhausting".

But when it comes to remote work, I feel like you need to be a communication "extrovert" to some degree. You have to over-communicate, and be extremely comfortable projecting yourself, and being highly visible/available. Some introverts may struggle even with that.
