On: Remote work requires communicating more, but less ...

The top comment is saying how to manage it. TFA isn’t saying no remote work, it’s saying less frequent communication. That doesn’t work in all cases. Struggling for hours without getting much done or understanding more isn’t effective for productivity or learning by definition. These cases can often be prevented with quick questions. “Send me an email, I check it every Monday and Thursday” doesn’t support that.

My skepticism isn't aimed at them

This can be prevented without (net) more involvement... with better use of those existing sessions, perhaps splitting them.

The definitions on that aren't clear - the comments around seem to expect the worst, absent employers abound.

I expect a fairly guided mission, with reports on findings. Questions both ways, Socratic or not.
