> incredible amount of communication fidelity lost compared to in-person meetings.
Yes, but is it critical ?
Do you really need that high fidelity interaction everyday of the week, all month ?
I feel a lot of strategies can be used to mitigate the need for that much bandwidth and hi-fi interactions. There’s orgs where some people working together only meet once a week or once a month.
If I remember well github teams only physically meet once every many months.
There are of course downsides to that, but the upsides (e.g. living a healthy life) can compensate them largely enough.

It's critical for politicking with people that don't internet so good. As a remote worker, that's the main thing I can't do. Some people can only form connections in person.
