You're right of course, those qualities don't naturally occur remotely.

However, and I know I'm slightly taking your use of "culture" out of context, but "Culture" is often code for any number of implicit biases in a workplace. Known or unknown. If you don't fit in, for whatever reason, can you still not be a productive asset in the corporation?

I'm old. Tell me about it. I am not a "cultural fit" in companies, these days.

So I am doing my own thing. I'm extremely fortunate, in being able to do this.

I'm also never going into an office, or relocating, again.

"You're right of course, those qualities don't naturally occur remotely."

In my experience, they do... It's how a project like Krita has grown naturally for over twenty years, bringing in new people, teaching them, having them become productive.

Of course, meeting in person, once or twice a year is important. But there's no need for offices for us.

“A culture of apprenticeship” shares the word “culture” but isn’t at all the thing that you’re concerned about.
