I have often worked remote, even before pandemic lockdowns, and it works fine for me, but I am a little concerned about the impact on the next generation of programmers. There are advantages to both old and especially new programmers, that neither experienced nor inexperienced programmers are fully aware of, to having a mix of experience levels in the same office area. Remote work allows for the conscious, I-need-to-know-x-so-I'll-ask-someone kind of interaction, but it's not as good at the spontaneous and unplanned learning from observing or talking to others. It's difficult to measure, but I believe it's significant. I'm sure experienced programmers lose out from this as well, but my guess is that the impact is less, and in any case they're not just starting their career so the damage is less. I worry that the younger generation is kind of getting screwed by this change (as with so much else in the last couple decades).
