I guess I just didn't think references to Avancs and Grindylow and Mosquito people to be all that relevant to the discussion. But to your point, I have read some Mieville.

I just went through a job search and had most of the same experiences. I even had a recruiter, one that headhunted me, recommend an opportunity only to pause and remark that my experience as a business owner was a “problem”. I couldn’t help

I have a hard time wrapping my head around why companies are mandating 100% return to office. I doubt it lasts, at least in software. Talented people are going to have lots of remote options making it harder to find good people willing to
