Tools Used
Tolstoy is based out of Tel Aviv, Israel. I work remotely with a 10-hour time difference. Having weekly video calls and chatting daily on Slack makes it feel like we are together in person. When I traveled to Israel to meet everyone in person for the first time, I already felt I’d known them for a while and it didn’t feel much different.
