I think you are looking at it wrong. Here's how I think of "the market": Say you have company X that makes SaaS. They mandate RTO for all workers. If there are really as many people wanting remote work as you say, then a remo

I disagree. In my analogy, cutting wood == writing code. You can't write code any faster on an M2 Macbook just because the CPU is faster. If you are more productive on an M2, it's only because you have more intelligent software (r
