Well if we’re waiting on a geographically distributed workforce then I can see two extremes which will force that. 1 The tech giants need to many employees/tech giant cities become too overpopulated for the move to Bay Area it similar isn’t feasible even for software engineers, causing the tech giants to submit to remote work. 2 We get to a point of automation where we have way fewer jobs than people. Don’t mean to be absolutist or anything, but as long as the tech giants can afford to fly candidates on site and throw buckets of money at them to move to ever increasingly high COL areas, I only see this trend continuing. Despite the technical ability to work remotely, most companies seem like they’d rather perish (or shove their talent into tighter and tiger corrals) than have people work from their own location. And I don’t see these giants trying to create new hubs in places that aren’t already established, as that’s a long term wager and why delay gratification like that?
