> two years ago, remote work was still a new concept. You should have added ' to us'

  Maybe we should be more specific about tech startups there. In 2017, it was a liability to be a remote company. In 2019, it's become an asset.

    While remote work has become more common not much has changed since 2017. I've been working remote off and on since 2011 as have many of my friends.

    I think a lot of it is your perspective. To many people a remote company is still an insane idea. To other people a remote company is just common sense if you have business that can make it work (the company I work for even has home workers in their call centre. It's amazing!) Where you are on that spectrum depends a lot on your experiences. Like others, if you saw the shift happening from 2017 to 2019, then you were experiencing things very differently than me. I don't think that's unexpected though. If you speak in a way that assumes your reader has the same experiences as you, you will create some dissonance and I think that's the feedback you are getting now. You can choose to write in a way that shows your personal perspective, or you can back off a bit to be more inclusive of people with other perspectives. Either way will work, I think.

    Disagree. Lots of remote work has been available in the last 20 years . You just needed the right skill set... as the parent said "new to you"

    Any data point to prove this.
