I completely agree with the point on contextual interactions.<p>I completely disagree with the point on "productive interruptions". This is an ideal but the fact is that just as many interruptions are unproductive in most office environments.<p>That said, there is no dispute that it's more efficient and effective for teams to work with some degree of physical proximity. The debate lies in the tradeoff between the ability to recruit (and retain) the best talent in a narrow geographical area vs. the loss of efficiency in working remotely. This listicle unfortunately oversimplifies that debate.
