Or someone has a bunch of money invested in commercial REITs and is looking at losing it...

I had a similar experience when I went from being an IC to a hybrid IC/Manager role at a smaller company. My day went from designing, coding and testing to babysitting, bird-dogging HR and Payroll issues, running interference to keep the executives out of my developers' hair and about 10% of my day coding. I'm glad I have the experience but 10/10 would not do it again.

Did you mean "3% of healthcare users account for 50% of the cost"?

This is only true if you're working with multiple completely separate teams each working in a silo to develop their own product and then post hoc some manager decides they have to have the same feature set. If they do it the right way around, specifying the common feature set comes first and then the dev teams do the app architecture on their separate platforms. As the features are developed and change requests inevitably arrive, the same sequence applies and you have an orderly process and the same app on two or more platforms without having to graft a third party dependency octopus onto your codebase.

Kind of hoping UXKit sticks a fork in RN, myself. (just my opinion)

What's the over/under on the executives and senior management who made that decision getting fired for it?

This is a cultural thing more than a remote work thing. At my company we're remote 2-3 days a week but can chat on Skype as needed. Our team (3 people supporting a major app on Android and iOS) talks several times a day to go over things and our team cohesion is good.

One of a whole bunch of reasons I'd never work for AT&T again.

Same for me. I'm 6' tall and almost at my goal weight (175lbs, currently 180lbs) largely because of keto and its follow-on effects.

I'm about to turn 60 and I'm still doing it, so.. yes.

Using words like "inexorably towards the truth" makes it sound like you're conflating "scientific truth" (which is a progressively less distorted view of reality facilitated by actual measurements and vigorous competition among competing explanations) with "religious truth" or "philosophical truth" which are much more difficult to pin down.

This article appears regularly, like oak pollen.

"the sentiment is accurate"? To how many decimal places?

That would be my cue to find something remote and hightail it out of there.
