One thing that the whole pandemic-induced WFH debate has really proven is this: in every HN post even tangentially related to the subject, everyone will state their strongly-held stance on the matter over and over, shouting into the void. I do it too (there are a few in my comment history), but I don't quite understand why. It's maybe something like: if I state my stance (wfh, prefer working from office, for the record) then maybe the comment-section-at-large will stop assuming everybody else wants to WFH forever. But it rather feels like the community has a collective neurosis, chanting their opinions on the subject in a loop with no purpose. Perhaps we can do better.
