One of the biggest things lost in remote work is chance meetings. These are very important, but hard to quantify. If you measure productivity on individual projects, everything will seem fine. Yet when you read stories of how things happened, chance meetings were often crucial.

You could also argue that those encounters now happen outside of our bubble with people in our local community. This could help reconnect what we work on with actual real world problems. This will change focus and priorities. And that’s a good thing given the state of the world.

Love this interpretation of serendipity. That the focus shifts from global to local. I'd also argue there are plenty of chance meetings in virtual spaces too. Just in new formats.
