My optimistic outlook? I think AI will eliminate waste in tech to the point where developers will launch their own businesses (we won’t need the waste of project managers, agile, administrative roles, etc). A new type of business owner will emerge and these types are WFH-minded first. This is the group that will elevate wFH permanently, since these developers will be part of the exodus from corporate America (leaving behind the culture of in-office work).
We just need the courage to keep crossing the Bering Strait.
- rightbyte 2y agoI think it is optimistic to assume the position of power or close to power (agile clergy, 'sales', middle management etc) are more disposable than programmers. Their class loyalty is just way higher than the workers'. Programmer coops are not really a thing. You wont get the deals.
- bloomingkales 2y agoI’m not suggesting an evolution of the current machine, I’m suggesting an exodus. Rebuild these apps without a single one of those bastards is what I’m saying. We could do it if wanted to. Rebuild GitHub, rebuild LinkedIn, rebuild Jira, without all the grifters.

- rightbyte 2y agoYe good point I might need to rescind that.
