For working parents, it's pretty tricky. I ran a few remote organisations, and while there were usually decision makers that wanted mandatory meetups, I always tried to make it as optional as possible, and to eliminate the need for those where feasible. In the age of vibe coding and North Korean fake workers, I'd probably go another way though. Trusting your remote workers used to be easier from my perspective.

You know the saying "trust but verify" :-) As mentioned before I think we need robust verification in place for things like new hire identity, but you mentioned an additional thing "vibe coding". The most obvious response to this is to have merge checks that run a bunch of tests on important stuff, and peer review. My current place of work has rolled out both copilot and gemini coding assistants to everyone and so far I've not seen the expected flood of lower quality code or code clearly written by AI and not even being understood by the submitter. We're talking ~80 devs in 3 timezones just in my project. This is very encouraging.
