Prague days 2 and 3

How do we stay connected?
Working remotely has become a reality for many during the pandemic and for a lot of people this has became a permanent move. Some companies have switched into being 100% remote, like Shopify, others have adopted an hybrid approach, but the truth is, several people will now work from home (or from anywhere). And this…
