I am super scared of a future where remote work could be the default. I see the amazing creative works in technology, art, etc that come from the simple act of pushing smart people into the same place and having them rapidly iterate. Do we know how to do this in a remote-first setup? I get it; you're super productive in your job during this pandemic but is this the same thing? It feels more like optimizing for efficiency in what you do now, vs. effectiveness to do something bigger than yourself. I manage a lot of people who focus on making themselves x% better, where x ranges from 1% to maybe 15%. I believe to scale we need to make the system better, which is more like a fractional % improvement multipled by n. Is this easier to do remotely? not yet with the tools we have IME...
