Yeah, hybrid is worst of both worlds. You still have to live near the office (so little labor market advantage), and remote workers become second class.

  > little labour market advantage The market advantage only works where there is a lack of labour. In cities with a big scene, there will be a lack of labour for a given industry. everyone remote will depress your labour's value because you are competing against a much bigger pool of talent. In tech its not so apparent yet, because there is a short supply of staff generally. But that wont persist for ever.

There's a lot more programmers on the market right now than 10 years ago thanks to bootcamps and short degrees. Honestly, for each one hired you generally need a proper engineer to cleanup the mess afterward. I'm not worried about an oversupplied of qualified engineers anytime soon.

    > that wont persist for ever. Being good tech staff is a hard skill. This idea that there will ever be enough just because the demand is high (and therefore there are many people getting schooling) is not healthy. Even when there are a lot of tech workers, there will be sourcing trouble. Instead of not finding anyone at all, companies will find very poor tech folks. In a very real sense this is already a problem today.
