I'm beginning to think that collective distributed satellite offices is going to be big. Like WeWork but for companies to house their local staff and far less culty. Would help if they had standing desks, folding treadmills, three screens and everything else for a superb dev experience that is a bit of a pain to set up at home.

I mean that’s the worst of both worlds. You get to be a remote employee as in you don’t sit with your team but you still have to commute to an office

[whiskey14]

The point would be that the commute would be no more than 15 minutes to your office. Ideally walking distance

[GoOnThenDoTell]

Ok but whats the point when you’re just on zoom anyway

[eckza]

Not all of us want to live within 15 walking minutes of _anywhere_.

[shaoonb]

That's your choice. I would love to be within 15 minutes walk of my office, but I can't realistically afford it, so the choice of a longer commute is made for me.

[throwayyy479087]

Fine, but please stop making it illegal for those of us who do want walkability

Teams should be reorganized so that they meet together.

[dagw]

So people get put on teams based on where they live rather than what they are good at or what the team needs?

[postalrat]

No. You do both.

[lamontcg]

You can now no longer reorg or have people move jobs without physically moving to someplace else around the world.

[postalrat]

Says you.

[hnews_account_1]

That’s called an office dude. Tf you saying?!

The US Gov pioneered this. It didn’t work very well.
