Telecommuting is not a slam dunk (Score 4, Insightful)

The backlash against telecommuting is not just security related - it's cultural. How can an organization stay fresh and bring on new people who can learn from mentors and rapidly come up the learning curve if all the senior engineers are tucked up at home coding in their PJs? How will that organization build a culture, build commitment, build team spirit? There have to be some limits or a company will stagnate. security issues can easily be handled with better technology over time but I don't think the cultural ones are so easily dealt with.
