Working in person with other people is a joy sometimes. I miss the energy of the office. It also sucks other times when you want heads down focus. I think it really does depend on your role and current projects. It also depends on your life situation. I always walked to the office or moved so I had an easy commute. But this doesnt work for everyone either if you have roots in a community for instance. To me at the end of the day people are optimizing for time and money. If we make offices more convenient and cheaper than working from home people will pick that option. But right now if you move to a cheap city and work from home that is the cheapest option with least commute by far. i hear a lot of chatter from vcs who think startups that work in person have an advantage, but in big companies maybe the calculus is different. In the end remote work is here to stay, but companies will make the best business decision in the end whether that means seeing better results by paying people more to stay in office or getting outcompeted by companies that hire globally and remotely.
