Same here. I even have the chance to live about 10min from the grandparents of my kids and the rest of the family is reachable within an hour. I started enjoying small bike tours, hikes but also disconnecting from work while travelling with kids.
My big question is: What does that experience mean for the future? Buy a house outside of the city to be closer to green/woods? Take a job where I meet people less remote? Etc

Etc I did exactly that! You can see my comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33490128 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33490128, but we did the exactly that. We bought a house, we signed the contract in the first lockdown day, which was kind of awkward, using gloves and masks for the first time, together with the people from the bank.. we were all too uncomfortable with a situation that would become a routine for the next 3 years. Regarding the job, I'm remote since 2010, but I have now a working place in the (now empty office). My team visit the office once every 15 days to do our retrospective, lunch and get some beers together..
- esel2k 4y agoHow were you able to office an office and bought a house (close by?)? I am assuming your office is in a big city or near an airport and not directly where you live?
