FWIW, here's another post/memo from the same person. He's laser-focused on developing a competitive advantage and severely discounts the value of employee experience. If you don't share the same priors, you might find his arguments less convincing.
Even more context is that his previous startup focuses on creating software for remote sales teams - so this guy should know more about how remote teams work than many.
Personally, as someone who's part of a remote pre-PMF team, I feel that remote work makes it somewhat harder for us all to be in sync, build together, and feel a sense of focus. That said, I assign a non-zero value on not having to sell my stuff, leave my friends and family, and move to the other side of the country.
