Though I agree that these are problems that exist with remote working, unless you are able to lose less time and build an equivalent or better team, you may still have come out ahead.
- dpritchett 12y agoExactly! Compare the Linux kernel project (globally distributed, world-class devs) to a team of undergrads working in the same room. Maybe face to face has higher communications bandwidth, but it doesn't automatically win in every scenario.
