Find out how to embed pre-recorded demos into your presentations for extra smoothness during your talk.Wed, 15 Apr 2015 00:00:00 GMTDemoshttps://ammeep.com/blog/one-year-of-remote-working/https://ammeep.com/blog/one-year-of-remote-working/Over a year ago, I joined GitHub and began working remotely.
