Most people cannot have a remote job. What should those people do to be "present"?

  The people who know about and post to HN can get remote jobs.

    Most actual meaningful jobs can't be remote. There are no remote firefighters or plumbers and very few remote doctors or nurses. My experience with remote jobs is they leave you less present both at work and at home. I float through life in haze, completely detached from reality. Separate spaces and a commute creates a natural transition period so that I can be present at both.

      I think the commenter you replied to meant there is high probability there are not that many plumbers visiting HN (I don't count some SW devs who call themselves plumbers :) )
