Building a good work culture is hard, it’s understandable that it’ll take time to identify and distill patterns that work well in a remote first setting, and then more time for the industry to adopt them. That doesn’t mean remote work is bad for employers, it just means it’s different. The companies that adapt will very likely have a strategic advantage in the future.

I don’t understand HN comments. We don’t need to read a sibling commenter to know that it was a small sample size. The article repeatedly mentions that.
All the other comments are also of the same ilk, making comments about reasons why the study’s result may not hold, as if they are new insights and rebuttals to the article, but almost all these caveats are mentioned in the article itself.
One sees this in nearly every other thread as well. It’s almost as if no one even reads what they’re commenting about.

For the record, I did read it entirely, but I’m tired of low effort/quality crap like this article trying to *splain why RTO is better and I’m making counter points not made in the source article to the article’s claims.
