I tried to build a product remotely with someone in a slightly different timezone.
It just didn't have the same feel as sitting next to each other. Fewer ideas generated. Problems take longer to fix. Motivation is lower. Async communication just doesn't always work.
- jakupovic 4y agoI think you missed the IMHO. We were never again going back to 9 to 5 office work. That is over and done with. Just like people started using skyscrapers to maximize use of space. Same is happening with internet, we no longer care to be colocated.
- senttoschool 4y agoLet's see. I predict a movement to return to office for these reasons: 1. After a few years, people will miss the "tribe" feeling. It can be very lonely to do remote work full-time. 2. In-person companies may start to outcompete remote or hybrid companies. 3. Highly paid western tech jobs are at risk of being outsourced to countries where top talent make 1/10th the amount.
