On Misconceptions Regarding Remote Work (with Hunter)

I run through some common misconceptions regarding remote work, with my baby in my lap.

Here's the list:

Remote is NOT NEW
Remote is NOT NICHE
Remote is NOT ALWAYS OUTSOURCE OR OFFSHORE
Remote does NOT REQUIRE SACRIFICING QUALITY
Remote IS NOT ALL OR NOTHING
Remote IS ABOUT RELENTLESS OPTIMIZATION (not just your commute)
Remote requires near-perfect information sharing (Internally and in Market)
"Always On” is real (but it is not new, it’ll be OK)
Remote frequently saves money for all parties involved (who saves more isn’t obvious)
