Working with a development team in a nearby country — similar time zone, overlapping working day, a short flight away — rather than offshore across a twelve-hour gap.
Overlapping hours decide how a team actually works: a question answered in minutes instead of tomorrow is the difference between collaboration and ticket-passing.
We work from Minsk and Warsaw on European hours, which gives a full shared working day with EU clients and makes a same-week on-site visit practical when something needs a room.
