“AI is killing remote work,” said Sahil Lavangia, founder of Gumroad. Citing Claude 3.5 Sonnet, he said that software that once took days to ship can now be delivered in hours or minutes, enabling people to work 10-20 times faster than before.
Lavingia further said that AI-accelerated speedups in software and content creation have made it challenging for remote work to keep pace. However, he argued that even brief communication delays have become bottlenecks in AI-accelerated workflows.
He explained that in-office teams can more effectively use AI’s rapid capabilities by collaborating in real time, using instant feedback for experimentation, problem-solving, and decision-making. This immediacy, he suggested, is harder to achieve remotely, where asynchronous delays slow potential productivity gains.
