I don't give Meta much of my empathy, but could imagine a company with the same goal needing most of their staff in office. To put it short, it's the same way

I don't give Meta much of my empathy, but could imagine a company with the same goal needing most of their staff in office. To put it short, it's the same way early Swift engineers were spending most of their time in C++. They had to to build the new language. Same way I could see a metaverse company needing engineer physically present not just to get access to the newest hardware but also work around the limitations of their own products until it's actually ready to be used 24/7. Now I'd still see whole classes of engineers not bound by those issues (e.g. backend engineers etc.).
