Figuring out what a building should look like is different from pouring the cement. It is unfortunate, but in our specific case the team likes getting that cement poured. They focus and they get a lot of work done, only then it has to be re-done as it turns out everyone actually had very different ideas.

This isn’t necessarily a remote/non-remote work problem, but I think that’s why that guy in the original article talks about the benefits of having people in the office.
