People may have a strong reaction to the word "crazy", but I'm not sure what else to call it, other than "mass delusion" or "mass hallucination". I've done this analysis for (mostly small-scale) compa

I think it's important to know that other boundaries exist, at least conceptually, but, ultimately, it's the practical considerations that are important. For example, for what you listed, what would you say are the storage cutoffs

The parent mentioned "hanging out and talking" (i.e. network effects) in addition to "try new things" (tinker). Could the same effect be accomplished remotely? Perhaps, but TFA essentially claims otherwise.
