These articles are kinda funny to me since I don’t know anyone in my corner of the industry, in my corner of the world who has been fully wfh since 2021. And like, nobody is all that upset about it? We need to share hardware, we were borrowing lab equipment, passing prototypes and going in to have techs solder stuff, etc, might as well go in a few days a week.

I’m not saying I don’t get why people like wfh, it’s just like, a small subset of workers this applies to who have purely computer jobs, and many of the articles about it seem to imply “everyone” is working from home, never mind carpenters or cooks.

Is it that small of subset? Even outside of software, there's many many jobs remote works for. Accountants, lawyers, graphic designers..

Probably not THAT small, but not most workers, and I guess I feel that articles like these, reflecting the work that the authors themselves do, make it that WFH-capable jobs are the default. Office workers are normal, and taxi drivers aren’t. But that might be reading a bit much into it.
