Plumbers have a 100% location-dependent job role by its very nature. Inventing the transistor* or the next leap in LLMs are both knowledge work, so could both be performed remotely *of course, there was a ton of actual science experimentation and lab work that needed physical presence, but my understanding of the key interactions between team members is that the key collaboration didn’t require physical presence
