I thought something quite similar, but upon further reflection the "remote" buildup and conclusion sets the narrative frame for the rest of the article.
Rather than just a "wisdom dump" it becomes more of a story with a purpose.
- scierama 9y agoYes, the entire article is an attack on remote working and this suits Amazon well since they keep trying to get people to relocate to Seattle.
- mfoy_ 9y agoIt is not an attack on remote working. It is an attack on the naive assumption that there is worthwhile value in being handed a stack of detailed requirements and implementing them with no back-and-forth.
- markbnj 9y agoIt does create the framing but I just don't see how it is relevant to the conclusions drawn. There are entire companies that are remote and are obviously able to communicate problem domain expertise and execute effectively.
