I'm down to bang out JIRA tickets from the comfort of my home in exchange for money. But that's as far as it goes. The skeuomorphism of "team" and the skeuomorphism of "culture" are vile.

I'm not going to "mentor" an object on my computer screen as if it were a human being who showed up to be my teammate.

That just shows a lack of understanding on your part. There is a human being on the other side with the same feelings and subjective experiences as in person.

You may argue that team and culture is reinforced by doing activities that intrinsically require you to be in person (e.g. board game, sports etc.)

But I don’t quite follow why you absolutely need to be in person to find mentoring someone worthwhile.

No, it is a mistaken assumption on the part of remote partisans that humanity carries over through the internet. It doesn’t.

You’re that object to the other humans on your team, so perhaps that is not the best thought out strategy

I know, that’s why it’s very important to avoid any team that indulges remote workers.
