Remote, like almost everything else, is just not for everyone. For some people, which are usually called "introverts" and similar names, remote is a bliss, and for people like Torvalds, it worked well for decades. The only real problem is for mostly useless management positions, who will have difficulty to justify their necessity without in-person social signalling bullshit. For really capable people a simple and straightforward text-based workflow is all what is required. Again, the development of Linux kernel would be the use case. My bet is that the actual developers of the Pfizer vaccine do not need any bullshit meetings either. One more time - for some of us not facing idiots in person is a bliss, and we are capable of writing communication at the level way beyond what is required for most jobs or business relations. And it is not Slack and other synchronous bullshit. Async email and tickets will do.
