It also boils down what should be an accommodation for worksite preference to a sudden demotion to ‘you are no longer worth it on a global scale and that changes everything’. Companies are what they are, and they will optimize for this. To remain optimistic, we have to continue believing in the startup space to continuously innovate software standards, where users are unwilling to accept substandard software experiences. That will keep this field moving forward versus a wage race to the bottom. Entrenched corporate companies would love tech to stagnate, that way they won’t ever have to innovate and can cost optimize developers down to the bone.
