Subtle plug for return-to-office. In-person face-to-face collaboration (with periods of solo uninterrupted deep focus) probably is the best technology we have for innovation.

Which is usually impossible in the office. So more like a mix, which is what all reasonable people are saying.


+1. I worked remotely the past 2 years. I just RTO'd (new team) and it's life-changing when you actually want to get stuff done quickly.


Not so subtle!


“Office” does not have to mean open office. Academics all have offices with doors for a reason. I can’t stand open office, but private office in a building with other people is great.
