"If you need to suddenly take care of your family
or friends, the flexibility to travel to them, move
to them, be there when they need you there. And
I think that's a really beautiful thing."

We're nearing a tipping
point with all-remote.
Instead of remote teams having to justify why they
do it, it's going to be colocated companies having to
justify why they don't.

"At a certain point, we decided: OK, this works.
Almost nobody in the company wants to come
to the office because it's a waste of time."
— Sid Sijbrandij, CEO of GitLab
Working remotely or distributed
forces an organization to do a
few things different:
1. You can’t expect people to work at a
particular time, given people are likely
to be in a different timezone. Working
asynchronously is necessary to
function.
2. Information can’t only exist in the
heads of people: the person you need
might be asleep! You have to write
everything down.
