If you are doing truly creative and innovative work, the office or equivalent is the only way. You can't "invent" anything new remotely. You need the "speed of flow" combined with the interaction of testing new ideas.
If you are doing something invented 30 years ago or longer, and implementing by rote, then that can be done distributed with no problem. Follow a standard waterfall-able process is easily done remotely as not.
- saurik 5y agoAnything you can do via speech in a group can be done faster and easier by text as everyone can talk at the same time without overlap and you have continual access to all of the history of the conversation. If you feel a need to meet in person to get "speed of flow" and "interaction" it just says more about how you were trained to use language than it does about the problem you are solving.
- sigstoat 5y agoas much as i like remote, and text interactions, i worked for a bit with some near-retirement guys who'd had health problems. they could still type to program, but the typing necessary to participate in a meeting was probably beyond them without physical therapy or serious exercise regimen or something. i'd say they needed speech to text, but one of them probably couldn't have _read_ a text meeting fast enough to keep up, either. maybe if he was provided with a 40" monitor and kept it at 1080p? i dunno man.
