"but to actually perform thinking writing" <- This is well articulated, thanks for framing this in a way that is widely understandable.

We have a guide that covers top attributes of great remote hires. This will be merged into that guide soon: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/-/merge_request...

Thank you for sharing this excellent video.

I work in academia on the “business side” in IT. Interacting with faculty is notoriously frustrating.

Around 23:00 in this video the presenter offers a rule of academia that “nothing will be accepted as knowledge or understanding until it has been challenged by someone competent to challenge it.”

I found that immediately insightful and instructive.
