A comment on Paul Graham on Remote Work.

It's pointless arguing with the remote naysayers at this point, which apparently now includes pg.

Like the title of an oft shared post on this site says: "You Can't Tell People Anything."

Show them instead. Just create successful remote companies and stop wasting your time arguing with these people. Or if you just sold your remote-first company, start a remote-first only vc fund and do well.

A random SEO-driven post says PagerDuty, Dropbox, Unquork, Coinbase, Superhuman, Twitch, Gitlab etc. are remote companies. Is this even true?

If it is, then pg should try to argue against this self-evident reality. If he has the intellectual honesty to do so that is.

The past few years has been so saturated with "Never expect a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it"-type low quality pontificating that it's become unbearable nauseating.

Let us not forget DuckDuckGo, also a successful fully remote company (and it was that way before COVID-19). MatterMost as well.

I am sure there are plenty of others
