It feels like playing a really weird video game all day. If it wasn’t paid I think it would be treated as some kind of strange addiction. I’ve never played e.g. World of Warcraft, but I’m not sure how remote work is different from being a really hardcore “gamer”. It doesn’t seem healthy for several reasons. I definitely move around less since I’m not forced to walk between meetings or between buildings for food or to meet up with coworkers on campus. Video calls do not currently trick my ape brain into thinking I’m actually socializing. Though I don’t miss writing code in an open office, that was always ridiculous.
