The Remote-vs-Office Debate Misses the Point: Will Your Role Survive Entropy Collapse?
AryHHAry · x · 2026-10-14
The author argues the "future of work" debate is stuck on the wrong variable. The real question: does your role survive the entropy collapse of traditional value chains? Three signals of antifragile career capital: you manipulate information rather than just process it; your output has a non-zero Lyapunov exponent (small input, disproportionate impact); you understand the socio-technical interface, not just the tool. Everything else gets automated—not by AI, but by the second law of thermodynamics applied to organizational inefficiency.
