IMO having the option to work remote is fine but I think a hybrid model works best. A career is not just about working and cranking out code, it’s about making connections, networking, and building relationships. Most 100% remote workers will soon realize they are limited in their career mobility because they won’t have the option to foster great work relationships and make friends. Humans collaborate best when in-person. Remote work has also made it easier to feel like you’re always on the clock and can fix and do things from home at any time. It’s important to have a work life balance and separation of the two. Sure, some people are excellent at time management and 100% remote work is perfect for them, but most are not. I miss having an office and seeing my colleagues face to face, getting in the conference room and white boarding through a complex problem in real time. Remote work is fine as an option, and everyone has things to deal with every now and then that makes it easier to have the option of working from home, but I do believe a hybrid model is the best solution. Both from a collaboration point of view and social networking.
