Then we should demand better definitions rather than forcing a change on which we have no data is actually better.

Have you seen some of the virtual reality from FB? I think it's getting close to the point where it's just as good as talking to someone in person, with the obvious benefit that not everyone has to be in the same physical office.

Not saying that you're wrong, but I'm interested in how you're able to measure "overall team productivity." I've found that to be a near-impossibility at any organization that I've worked at.

I don't think the free-market-solves-all-ails response really works here. The issue is that the CEOs of these companies act together, essentially as a cartel. Sometimes formally [1], other times informally [2]. Labor (at least in the U

Would be nice to have some sort of benchmark, eg "average US consumer" etc. Looks like that value might be around 10~15.

I mean, the default of any new company is pre-product-market-fit, no? How else could you start something new? During such an early stage much of your code may be written as a very rough MVP that you're only really using to validate a c

As is mentioned in the article, it's not a requirement that you get paid more for working less. Many would take a pay decrease to be able to do the 4-day work week. Why should an employer always be able to impose their desires on my li

Maybe spending 30 minutes on one bug is worth it, maybe not. If you're pre-revenue / pre-product-market-fit and you compound tens to hundreds of these 5s to 30m decisions, you're risking running out of time or money before an

I mean, not "no matter which time frame you look at." Look at the drop in May 2021, from which the rate didn't recover until 2022. Similar situation for October 2018 - June 2019.
