With respect, remote work is over.
- ls15 4y agoIt barely has begun. Climate change and high gasoline prices are making remote work an absolute necessity. Travelling on a daily basis, just to look at another screen, will soon be seen as obscene. Like switching your rare real fur coats daily.

- arcticbull 4y agoI don’t see what SF has to do with anything? SF has made a number of incredibly poor anti-tech decisions that have pushed tech companies out of town. They kicked out Square, Stripe and PayPal (and I assume a myriad other payments companies, probably Airbnb) with Prop C. Of course people are leaving. Their jobs moved. I wouldn’t confuse a particularly poorly managed city for a broader trend. The same is certainly not happening a few towns over in South San Francisco where Stripe is now located, or in Cupertino, or in Menlo Park. Or at Tesla. Or every financial business in New York. Anecdotally every early stage startup I know is starting in person. Couple years from now, work from home will once again be the exception.
