I’ll admit that I do miss when everyone else wasn’t remote. Once Covid handed everyone remote on a silver platter it diminished some of the perks.

Everything used to be completely empty during normal work hours. This is was one of my big life lessons that it’s better to not advertise things that are truly great in order to help prevent the utility of it from being crowded away.

Case in point are “day in the life” TikTok’s about an awesome lifestyle. These egotistically blatant brags end up bringing attention that threatens it.

At the same time I see “day in the life” TikTok’s about working onsite at a FAANG and they are the biggest jokes of software devs I’ve ever seen.
