Doesn't that really depend on what kind of company you are? I can see how it would be hard with a huge company like ibm where someone could probably get by for years without doing anything. But at a smaller company people can tell whether you're working or not.


this can happen at small companies, too. i've heard of devs who got remote jobs at startups and basically just didn't do them.


This seems more like a problem with management only knowing if people are doing their job by noticing their presence instead of measuring their production, which is really the only way remote work can be done successfully at scale, IMO.


You'd think companies would be willing to commit to fixing bugs if they're paying people to find them.


this is amazing!


This story really buries the lead imo:

> In 2019, Bay Area startups attracted roughly $46 billion in venture capital, more than twice the amount raised that year by the entire Mighty Middle combined.
