This is a cultural thing more than a remote work thing. At my company we're remote 2-3 days a week but can chat on Skype as needed. Our team (3 people supporting a major app on Android and iOS) talks several times a day to go over th

Using words like "inexorably towards the truth" makes it sound like you're conflating "scientific truth" (which is a progressively less distorted view of reality facilitated by actual measurements and vigorous compe

It sounds a lot like those misbegotten standing airline seats ( https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/standing-up-airplane-seat... ) and it's another example of what happens when bean counters get control of thing
