I feel all of this no-remote-encouraged is due to ego trip. Nothing boosts your ego more than having 10 people under your management show up in standup meet and pretend to be listening to what you have to say, and than you dismiss them to go work.
It doesn't quite have that feel when you are doing that over Slack.
- rantanplan 9y agoThis can be alleviated by meeting once a week(if all members are in the same area) or once per couple of months(for more distributed teams). I would be very wary of companies that can't perform because physical attendance is mandatory every single day!

- lawnchair_larry 9y agoIf you emphasize metrics, you'll get folks who optimize for the metrics, to the detriment of the project. They will frustrate your best engineers, who will eventually leave.
