I advocated for remote work pretty aggressively. I've been doing it now for about a year due to the pandemic, with the option of doing it permanently at my current employer.

I'm not sure I'm that enthusiastic about it anymore. Life just seems a lot more boring to me. Every day is the same and it's become incredibly repetitive. I've been getting somewhat depressed about having this repetitive lifestyle for the next N years. I hadn't really felt this way before. It could be unrelated to remote work of course.

Let it be said:

The pandemic is a poor facsimile of remote work. Iow, working from home to quarantine is fundamentally not the same as remote work.

In remote work, you can grab lunch with a friend, have a beer after work, or meet your grandparents. These things matter.
