Honestly it's not really "tech jobs." Even in software, there are some kinds of SW and development and timelines that are easy to do all or mostly remote. These tend to also be the kinds of work that, if not for language barriers, kind of offshore easily. They tend to involve mastery of a framework but otherwise mostly being a lot of glue code. This is not true for all kinds of software and I think people really underestimate how important it is for some kinds of software to be arguing in front of a whiteboard and/or with massive schematics sitting out and so on or having different people drop in, quickly establish context, and reason through things. I think a lot of HN tends to be - like most of the industry - basically web apps. Those don't have any problems with communications bandwidth or shared context because a lot of it is on rails and is mostly not interesting to discuss outside the user flows discussions around the UI. But that isn't true for a lot of software or high-value software.
