This comment is the epitamy of the tech industry... Responding to actual data with antidote and personal opinion. Followed by the crowds upvoting.
- Infernal 8y agoNot to be picky, just an opportunity to inform - the word you're searching for is anecdote, rather than antidote. Also just while I'm here, normally I wouldn't point out spelling but, epitome.
- emperorcezar 8y agoThanks. I would like to think I can blame auto-correct. v0v
- alexandros 8y agoAt least it's a tech industry-only phenomenon right? In all the other industries, people are rational data analyzers with no bias whatsoever. If there's an epitomy of the tech industry, it's blaming ourselves for being uniquely bad at things we're actually better at than most.
- sparrish 8y agoI would argue that since this subject is about remote workers, the crowds upvoting is data. Think about it.
- emperorcezar 8y agoI feel that one is data collected about productivity, and the other is a community survey. That's another form of data, but I personally wouldn't hold it nearly as high of an indicator as other data.
- ksk 8y agoWhat does "actual data" mean? All data is actual. A study is not the termination of a logical argument. Its a model that someone thinks best explains the gathered data. Most studies don't go anywhere. People keep doing them so we get better and better and eventually stumble upon something useful.
