I had hoped that by now a lot more developer jobs would become remote because why not? Everyone commuting is wasting a lot of resources for dubious value. But

I had hoped that by now a lot more developer jobs would become remote because why not? Everyone commuting is wasting a lot of resources for dubious value. But instead, I have seen remoting as counter to the trend--managers want dev teams "co-located" so they can "collaborate" or whatever. They just don't trust people is what it all comes down to. Maybe rightly so. Another factor: Internet service hasn't gotten better and mine has actually degraded even though I live in the suburbs of a a major metro area. I'm basically either stuck paying Comcast (a reprehensible company whom I would not be shocked to find out that the C-level execs eat live babies) or the crappy DSL from Frontier, which I pay to be inconvenienced by, but at least am not sending my money to Shitcast and cable tv brain deadness. God I hate how this has all played out! My co-workers refer to my ISP as "North Korea Internet" because when I do work remotely I end up experiencing random outages or speed dips that make our VPN unusable. DSL topology is weak and Frontier is likely under-investing in their infrastructure while slamming as many customers as possible onto that network.
