Remote work is about the only thing where I very much disagree with Musk. I get it for engineering physical things. But not for web software. In that area, remote works much better than in-office, at least for me.
- erulabs 4y agoI agree, but I think either full on-site or fully remote are both leagues better than partially remote. Partially remote is far worse than either - because now all the in-person tactics exclude the remote folks, and all the remote work tactics are an unnecessary burden to the in-office folks. An all-remote team of heads-down engineers is 99% as good as in-person, if not better, because now all the communication has been written down and recorded.
- chrisco255 4y agoNevermind that in a partial remote scenario, like anywhere from 20-80% of the staff are wfh on any given day.
- ghaff 4y agoIn fairness, that's on teams to manage. Coordination is possible.
- ben_w 4y agoIronically, the Tesla robots would (with a VR headset) enable physical-thing workers to work remotely.
- coffeeblack 4y agoThat would be really cool, but probably still a while before that actually works on a large scale. Let alone before the Tesla robot actually works. I am less optimistic about the time it takes to develop it.
- ben_w 4y agoI have no particular idea how long it will take or how much such a robot will end up costing. I can see the use case, but I've only ever done hardware as an amateur, never professionally.
