"..organizing by physical proximity and geritocracy is no longer necessary.." I just quit a job where I was working in Silicon Valley but most of the team was in Toronto. Other aspects of the project were outsourced to India, China, and Germany. For my new job, all developers sit on the same floor. Things works 10x better at my new job. I know that Linux and some open source projects have achieved geographic independence, but that doesn't mean it's easier enough for everyone to do it yet. I think there's a core of super dedicated people that keep geographically disparate projects alive and working well.
