NoDesk: Issue #160
A weekly newsletter with the best new remote jobs, stories and ideas from the remote work community, and occasional offbeat pieces to feed your curiosity.
By Daniel (@nodeskco).
This issue is brought to you by Semaphore.
Semaphore, leader in CI/CD, has recently become the first and only CI/CD platform with out-of-the-box monorepo support, enabling companies to scale out large projects at high speed.
“Monorepos offer many benefits for engineering teams, but until now, setting one up was needlessly traumatic. Since we use a monorepo ourselves, we understood the pain of setting up a functional CI/CD pipeline. It goes without saying that we were very motivated in making the experience of configuring such a project on Semaphore a seamless process.” - Damjan Becirovic, Software Engineer at Semaphore.
Every day, over 30,000 engineers rely on Semaphore to test and ship their code.
Semaphore is hiring for multiple remote roles. Apply now and join the team!

Scott Markovits | Leading from afar
In today’s episode, we chatted with Jessica Hayes, VP of People at Whereby about the hybrid remote model & future of offices. We spoke about how Whereby is a remote first hybrid company. Confused? Meaning they offer an office space as a perk. Something to take advantage if you want to. It’s not a place you have to work from. This model of hybrid is the only option for success. We discuss the reasons why.
