I read the title much differently than HN!
My take is, you get to work from home if your job isn't that crucial. Jobs that are driven by cost rather than result.
I don't think most remote workers understand that eventually they must be cost competitive with any legally-applicable competitive workers. Are you ready to become cost-competitive with Mexican devs who know React well enough?
In ten years I predict most "remote" work will be pay-per-ticket:
1. Log in to hiring site to complete aptitude test.
2. If pass, get a ticket and propose solution.
3. If solution isn't accepted, goto 1. If another worker solved same issue for less money, goto 1.
4. Close another ticket within X hours. If not, goto 1.
Anyone stuck in this loop may very well fantasize about aspirational careers like being a UPS driver.
