QuestionThe Telecommuting Developer Pin

I am still learning the ins and outs of being a telecommuting developer. I recently returned from a trip outside the US, was gone for a while. Now I am sitting in a state far away from my office where other people are diligently working daily. I have another job that I am doing during the day which for this post I will leave out. Yet I am trying to help my company on projects that need to be completed.

I am trying to help yet feel as though I am pulling my hair out trying to understand this new DB schema. I look at columns and tables trying to get description, how the flow of the data will go. I have pages taped on my wall of diagrams trying to piece together the missing pieces in my mind on how it all fits. I've read the documentation that's been generated. Column and table descriptions are not really all that descriptive, almost vague. I find myself stuffing data into tables on my system trying to make it make sense. I have tasks to complete, and sometimes not really getting as many tasks as I would like, but have asked and asked and asked only to come up with even more questions. Confused | :confused:

I am wondering if there are any other telecommuting developers out there and if they have any horror stories, experiences, lessons learned about walking into a project midstream and trying to pickup and understand where everyone else is at. Especially when you are trying to do it from home.

I am really trying to make this telecommuting work. I also appreciate if anyone has some good telecommuting tips too.
