<p>We employ caring, careful, and diligent laundry attendants to fold laundry and match socks.  While we do have video camera systems, we haven't yet found any robotics systems that are ready for the scale and efficiency we have with our team.  We're watching the space closely, though!</p>

<p>Just yesterday, we were discussing starting to retire our fleet of 8GB Macbook Airs, because 8GB just isn't enough to run Tahoe and a few apps.  Luckily, most of our Macbook Airs are 16GB to avoid this kind of obsolescence.<p>It looks like this MacBook Neo doesn't even have an option for 16GB, unfortunately.</p>

<p>No worries about the downvote.  You're NOT crazy to hate remote!<p>It really depends on your phase in life, and your lifestyle.  I have kids, a home office, a community, and outdoor hobbies, so the work-from-home lifestyle is great for me.  And, I can meet colleagues for lunch or strategy sessions on occasion as necessary.<p>If you want to socialize with coworkers and minimize time at home, then find an in-office work environment!  There are lots of them out there - Rinse isn't quite for you.</p>

<p>We do have a physical footprint in each of those cities, and there is real value in being able to actually see our product and service in person by being in our service area.  We can provide a desk with real co-workers in any of those cities.<p>See <a href="https://www.rinse.com/contact/#locations-heading" rel="nofollow">https://www.rinse.com/contact/#locations-heading</a><p>Most developers prefer to work from home, though!
