I worked full-time remote from 2014-2019 before leaving the workforce. I made good investments and I have spent my days doing as I please, working on open-source projects.

While I do have an interest in working (know of any place that does stuff with Haiku OS, C++ and 3D graphics APIs?), I simply won't consider software engineering jobs that require me to be on-site.

I strongly suspect that engineering-driven companies that fully embrace remote work will out-compete the laggards. The people that write the code that AIs can't are not going to roll over and put up with the way things used to be. There is no going back.

If you are fence-sitting on this issue because you're worried about having enough money, consider that the entire workforce benefits when you stick up for yourself. Labor is a market like any other, and every shitty job you refuse to do only puts more pressure on the corrupt management class. <3
