[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Remote work is quietly destroying engineering culture.

Not productivity. Culture.

The best engineering I've seen happened in rooms where:
• A junior engineer overheard a senior one thinking out loud
• Someone walked to a whiteboard mid-sentence
• A bad idea got killed in 10 seconds because the right person was three desks away

None of that happens on Slack.

Mentorship doesn't scale asynchronously.
Tacit knowledge, the stuff that's never written down, transfers in person or not at all.

The engineers who thrived remote were already great.
The engineers who needed to become great? Many of them didn't.

I'm not saying remote work isn't real work.
I'm saying that the craft of engineering requires proximity in ways we pretend it doesn't.

The industry optimised for comfort.
We'll spend 10 years figuring out what we lost.

Maliq,

We all see Muslim scholar and clerics telling us all that Islam will take over the UK, that infidels will be killed, that wives will be beaten, that child marriage is desirable, and that Female Genital Mutilation will be allowed

All of this is quite contrary to British tradition

Why do you pretend this is not going on ?

We are not all complete fools...

@Boenau Just make the limit 15 mph for everything and then we won't need special lanes
