It’s easy when work gets completed. I would hire anyone remotely or let them play games at work if work is done. It is more difficult when we think their work in average or has a lot of defects. Then, the contract is for them to put in the required hours with decent concentration, and they have fulfilled their part in a measurable way that satisfies the manager. And truth be told, if their work were perfect, they would be promoted.

So, home office for senior developers with awesome productivity only?

Then the junior developers never get the benefit/mentorship of the best senior developers, instead they get mentored by the senior devs with poor productivity. That seems like a recipe for more unproductive developers

Hire juniors who can actually read the fscking code and docs.

Hah that's a tall order in 2020. Most of them can only watch videos and ask others.
