@paulg I wouldn't say anyone is stupid. :) Just that the environment has changed since many of these orthodoxies were created. - 1 more reply

@paulg@photomatt when you imagine the future of work, particularly in technology, is it a bunch of people in a physical room? Is it? -
@codinghorror For future = 10 years, yes. In-person is so high bandwidth in so many subtle ways. -
@paulg@codinghorror Exactly. Pair debugging/programming, Q&A, lunch, coffee, impromptu brainstorm session, solve problems together. -
@migueldeicaza@paulg is coffee and lunch and hallway chats worth losing one of the best minds in the world to another startup or country? -
@codinghorror@paulg I would make that decision based on the circumstances. But claiming "Paul is Wrong" skips over all the needed nuance -
@migueldeicaza@paulg not a great title for the article, many people never read beyond the title as I have learned many many many times -
@codinghorror@paulg Very confrontational title, while good content, it lets the assertion on the title stand. - 1 more reply

@paulg@photomatt I think it's more likely that distributed teams work better for specific *teams* and *individuals*, rather than products.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Distributed teams work well for collaboration products, but seriously it depends on how you invest in making it work

@paulg@photomatt the probability of distributed teams succeeding hinges on management and the staff making it happen, not the product. -
@avleen@paulg@photomatt A 10x developer could also be a 2x dev, in a 5x environment company.
