Short excerpt of a YouTube interview/monologue by Tobias Lutke (CEO of Shopify) arguing that company culture is not centrally planned or purely grassroots but emerges from winning together and celebrating those wins. He states successful companies have cultures because they win together; losing companies do not. Lutke also notes Shopify is a heavily committed remote company where remote work "really, really well for us," but he believes that winning together in-person "feels" more nourishing — implying remote work trades off some cultural nourishment despite operational success.
