So I take it then that working remote with founders was actually much more successful than the folks at YC originally thought it would be? Because I remember sama saying that he was very skeptical the remote thing would work.
> Many people say we don’t need immigration reform because people can work remotely. While remote working works well for a lot of companies, and I expect it to continue to work better as time goes on, it doesn’t work well for all companies (for example, it would not work for YC), and it shouldn’t be the only option. It also sends money and competency out of our economy. The common answer of “let the US companies open overseas offices” always sounds to me like “further slow US economic growth and long-term viability”.
