"The author doesn't seem to get this - if remote workers were so amazing, and had been so amazing in practice, companies would use them more." A nice idea in theory but it doesn't hold up in practice. In fact the entire premise of startups is that large companies are run incredibly inefficiently and get stuck in local optima. Managers typically stick to known practices and rarely experiment unless they are forced to or there are clear personal benefits. It is very difficult to move against entrenched corporate culture and pretty much nobody does it "for the company".
