Remote work is very suboptimal… for whom? For the companies who don’t have to run huge engineering offices or can tap from more than the local talent pool? Or for the developers who can work for anyone anywhere with a twenty-foot commute from the living room to the office?

Remote work is way more optimal than in office work.

Like everything, there are tradeoffs in both directions. Office work means immediate collaboration and feedback, where remote work gives people time to focus. There is a time where both are necessary. Video conferencing software has not solved this problem.

The only collaboration that I think is worse over remote is when you want a whiteboard. We have had great success and satisfaction with everything else. Watching my kids work remotely with their peers makes me think the whiteboard problem is merely a legacy issue.

They’ve never used a whiteboard so they aren’t trying to replicate it digitally.
