I want to work from home, at least part time, but the other two developers we have need quite a bit of handholding. They are good people and I want to keep them around, but if left to their own devices they would not work at all.

How can I get to the point where we can all work from home part time, without spending half of my day micromanaging them or keeping them on a WebCam just to be sure they’re working? I definitely don’t want to do that shit.

Work by setting goals, that's the true essence of smart working I think

And when goals aren’t met?

I think this doesn't depend on whether they wfh or not, but I don't manage people
