- Apocryphon 3y agoWas there a drop off in quality with quarantine-forced remote-only arrangement? The markets said "No."
- dilyevsky 3y agoLol now try that without simultaneous infusion of trillions of capital and see what the markets say. In fact I think they already said it...
- Apocryphon 3y agoSounds like quality is never truly being measured, either way!
- dilyevsky 3y agoWhen money is free nobody cares about quality. When money is tight people of all walks of life are suddenly concerned with what they are getting for their money, employers included
- Apocryphon 3y agoYou make a good point, but I’d hazard to say that software “quality” - or even product quality- is often orthogonal to the actual profitability of a tech company.

- Apocryphon 3y agoFor one thing, I'd imagine intercontinental, transoceanic time zone differences can wreak a lot of havoc.
- karaterobot 3y agoTwo problems with that argument: * You're comparing outcomes with two different causes (quarantine versus contract) * You're asking about the quality of the outcome, but defining the answer as whatever the market says. As the market doesn't weigh in on quality, only value (and that imperfectly in many situations) it can't answer that question.
