I think anyone who says remote is strictly better is fooling themselves. There are definitely down-sides.
We’ve been doing a lot to try to bring back the benefits of being in-person while maintaining the flexibility of being remote.

- ipaddr 5y ago"Friday we cap off the week by eating lunch together over Zoom" How awful. I think you are trying to take the benefits of less social activity inspired remote workplaces and adding in forced. some social interaction. I would like to see this type of activity stopped.

This is a tradition that has stayed with the company since the very earliest days when we were in YC. I’ve never heard anyone complain about it, and it’s something I know many on the team (including myself) look forward to each week. That said, it’s not one size fits all. The culture probably isn’t for everyone; hopefully, being open about how we operate helps people decide whether it’s the ideal environment for them.
