Penticton...what makes you a great remote worker in the tech world?

I'm currently researching what competencies are necessary to be successful as a remote worker in the tech industry. I want to learn from YOUR perspective, and hear what kind of support and feedback is important to you. I will ask you to sign a consent form agreeing to let me use your insights in my research (don't worry, your name will never be disclosed...it's an ethics thing).
