Fuck you. Split out fully remote from hybrid. As someone who was fully remote “unofficially” from 2020-2024, then had my job threatened like everyone else with mandatory rto - yeah, I don’t feel valued.

Sitting in a car for 40 minutes each way when I could be taking that zoom/teams call from the comfort of my home office while drinking a good coffee in comfortable clothes was infuriating before gas cost more than $100/gal. (No, there isn’t public transit available for my commute, or I’d take that.)

Adding AI makes it even more insulting.

So you’re saying AI is so powerful, it’ll replace my job - the same job that requires me in the office 4 days a week. What are you going to do, buy robots to replace us developers?!
