Why can open source projects like the Linux Kernel function through remote work but the rest of us can't?

• xgbi 4y ago
  Because the linux kernel is not a company. It's mainly built with people employed in bigger companies, where they have fruitful exchanges with their company peers. The contributions they push in the kernel is part of a larger effort in their respective companies. And the mailing list is the way they communicate around the kernel. They still have physical colleagues in their day jobs.

    You don't need be around your peers physically in order to create fancy shit. I've been playing games / hacking with people that I've never ever seen for over 14 years and trust me, you can definitely be creative in such a environment Or maybe it just doesn't work for adults?

    So is it your opinion that no company can successfully compete in the market with WFH?
