I think that if you expect that "movements" that promise you something, to deliver at 100%, you are in for many disappointments.

Still, it is not like nothing happens:

1) Many people I know in IT work at least partially from home, thing which would have not been possible 20 years ago.

2) I find networking in any circumstances a hit and miss and depending also on luck. Of course people try to attract you with promises, but it was the same for events/conferences/you name it.

3) AI saves many people time. Maybe it will not reduce the time by 10x (and if it does, search for another job), but it's still better than nothing. And it's not something, new for example google translate saves people time since some time already.

25 years ago my boss told me one day not to come in the next day because I was on a critical path for the next release and he didn't want me discracted by office things.
