Are Apple Watch engineers doing better or worse than they would otherwise by being remote? Genuinely curious.

Who can forget the infamous Tim Cook anecdote [1] about Apple resolving problems in Asia: > One day back then, he convened a meeting with his team, and the discussion turned to a particular problem in Asia. "This is really bad," Cook told the group. "Someone should be in China driving this." Thirty minutes into that meeting Cook looked at Sabih Khan, a key operations executive, and abruptly asked, without a trace of emotion, "Why are you still here?"
