37signals is a black swan for a lot of things.

To be noted, but not as the basis for a new world order.

Anecdotal evidence of my own:

- Stop thinking about labor in a capital-intensive business

- I can't do a damn thing with collaboration without a real whiteboard

- I don't work well with too much technology.

- Time zones make things tricky: half of "our" team is in Europe, but deals with a different group of companies. FTSE vs NYSE trading hours make things difficult.

- The one work-from-home person on "our" team was let go due to inconsistent quality of output

- Living in a city is a part of work/life balance for pretty much anyone under age 30
