sure we spend a lot of time on our computers. but we have meetings too. we talk to people around us. we eat together and get coffee together. no one goes to work and stares into their laptop all day. and doing this remote is great from time to time. but you will spend 5-10 or 15 mins getting the VC set up. you will hear 7 words out of 10 and infer the rest or rarely ask to repeat. you will be alone and have less personal connection to your coworkers. i’ve done both extensively and prefer going to work a lot. i WFH often, but it’s not optimal to work remote every single day. we have people who live out far for cheap and come in every few months. no matter how much of a “rockstar” they are, their organizational value is less than one in the building. whether it’s on merit or just humans liking humans they see, face to face contact is important and has real value
