To be clear, I responded to this comment:
> A couple of zoom calls may suck, but certainly less than commuting to have the same meeting in a stuffy room.
Maybe I read too much into the comment. Maybe it was just meant as a way of saying "I personally prefer remote work + video conferences to in-person meetings". But I feel like there's a narrative that developers actually uniformly prefer remote work, and that the comment reflected that narrative.

- mort96 3y agoMy original comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38415864 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38415864) is a response to the comment I quoted (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38415793 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38415793).
- Kye 3y agoThreaded discussions are as old as the internet. They're not some new thing where the social norms are still under negotiation. The whole point is to allow conversations to branch off in different directions. They're not private chat rooms between you and the person you replied to. Your response[0] was to my comment[1]. If you meant to reply to [2], you should have clicked that reply link instead of replying to my comment. I'm not /u/7thaccount. It's an easy and common mistake most people just acknowledge and move on from.

- mort96 3y agoI know how threaded discussions work. I thought it was appropriate to quote the comment I originally responded to for context. You seemed to think I was somehow against the idea of remote work, the context from the comment I originally responded to should make it clear that I am just against the idea that everyone finds remote work better in every way. Does that make sense?
- 7thaccount 3y agoGotcha and hope my intent was clear as well and didn't come off as snippy. I'd agree that there is a distribution and some do enjoy going in. I believe most like having the option where they can choose each day. I prefer fully remote, but occasionally I do wish I could go in for the day to socialize a bit more. To each their own.
