What a strange world. 621 points on Hacker News but the thing doesnt actually exist. I'm thinking about submitting a new post soon 'Show HN: I am writing An effective micro transaction platform to eliminate ads from the internet.'.
People argue about whether remote work is 'productive' but is 'productive' all we really care about? I understand this is Hacker News so productive is the guiding principle but what about community, friendship? Doesn't working remotely just force us more into our little bubbles? Especially for engineers I think it just reinforces natural tendencies and won't lead to the same sort of growth over time? There is an aspect of getting better socially as you age (hopefully) for example.
