HN threads on remote work and no-code reveal the change from its “founder” focus ~10 years ago to “worker” today.
Nobody I know with a “founder” mindset even remotely entertains the possibility that remote-work can be as efficient as in-person, or instinctively reacts to no-code developments as an attack on their self-worth(as programmers).

- ren_engineer 4y agothere's now multiple unicorns who have proven purely remote companies can work just fine. I'd say it's the opposite, people stuck in the past will cling to office work while actively hurting their business. Meanwhile actual innovators will take advantage by poaching quality talent from these companies Google and Tesla can force office work by paying ridiculous amounts of money, good luck with your shitty startup getting quality people to join while not offering remote. Engineers on HN for years have talked about hating open offices, remote work is a gift if you actually value productivity
- hiyer 4y agoI don't think it's so black and white. I prefer remote work but I know lots of people who prefer to work from the office. For various reasons - their home is too noisy, they like the food at office, or they just like the company of colleagues. The last one can be a productivity killer though - at a large tech company I used to work for, most people would just exchange pleasantries until lunch and start working only after that.
- iostream24 4y agoHow to unpack such a mixed bundle of truth and utter lies? Founder here, remote first, remote only, meet later to pop champagne corks if there’s an actual reason. Your suggested cult sounds like a dead end in the poor shop
