It means that no question will be considered stupid and your intelligence/experise will not be judged. So feel free to as any question as long as you’re sincere and serious.

Web is by definition decentralised. I can run a website on my home PC and it’s part of the internet. Web3 is running Blockchain. They are two independent concepts imho. When it comes to Web3, my opinion of it is “meh”. It’s a buzzword more than anything.

Disagree about the salary part. From my experience smaller companies tend to pay a bit better because they don’t have the reputation and the presence of the industry that a big company does.

I mean the following are 2 different and unrelated questions. And the OP asked the answer for the 1st.

But hey, if you aren’t burning many gallons of fuel per day and stuck in traffic for hours while being very stressed, for a job you could’ve done from home, are you even an adult?

I asked this question earlier as well but you chose to ignore it completely. I am asking again. Why are same CEOs who praised WFH now forcing people to come to the office?
- Comment on Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices? 8 months ago:
My original reply was on topic too. The commentor said that anyone making a connection between coming to office and real estate values is just high. My response was that CEOs originally praised WFH. If productivity is not an issue it’s natural that people make a connection between being forced to come to the office and real estate values. And either the CEOs that reported higher productivity when WFH or people dismissing the said real estate connection are liars. How is this not on topic? Would you please care to point out?
- Comment on Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices? 8 months ago:
I have seen this happen first hand. My friend works for a company headed by a founder CEO who is famously progressive. In the hight of the pandemic they even stated that they’d go WFH indefinitely. Past forward a couple of years they have finished constructing a shiny big new office building at the heart of the city. Now every one is being asked to come to the office 5 days a week.

If real estate value claims are bullshit, why are the same CEOs that praised the productivity increases, touted record breaking profits now force people to come to the office?

I can ask whether meeting with your co workers has anything to with how it’s “always been done”. We can go on and on forever. And this will not make any meaningful contribution to the topic whatsoever. Ok, so I’ll backup a few steps and try to answer all questions asked in this thread.
The original commentor mentioned that working at your employer’s place (mind you this is the original context of ths post) has always been how it’s done amd people advocating for WFH are just a bunch of whiners. My response was that it’s factually untrue and therefore has no bearing in the topic.
Then you argued that physical presence has always been the norm. That’s true (mostly) but it’s also very close to the WFH model. For example you meet the blacksmith and state your requirements, then the blacksmith toils away and does not have contact with the buyer until the work is done and the contract is to be fulfilled. If we are to follow this model for an accountant for example, they would get a task to prepare some financial reports along with raw data, they would work from home until the task is done and then meet the employer with the final report? I said that physical meeting was MOSTLY true because there was instances of contracts being made via mail, especially between kings. The messengers would deliver the message(internet/chat) in the modern context?
Finally you ask what’s cars have anything to do with the discussion. That’s how a lot of people get to their workplace. This is also a modern invention and a lot of people would loose their jobs if they didn’t have access to them. I raised this point to raise that a lot of these problems are modern problems. Cowering behind “that’s how it’s always being done” is not good enough. There were no software engineering jobs, social marketing jobs in the past. How how is past norms relevant here? If we are so keen to cling on to the past you’d observe that whatever got the job done was the preferred method. In this current context of inflation, climate change, air pollution and twiddling middle class buying power, why are we forcing people to give up WFH who have that option? Therefore I’m advocating for WFH and believe who force people to come to the office are either ignorant of cold facts or have an ulterior motive.
So I’m asking again, are you for or against WFH and why?

And people didn’t have cars to commute to work either. What point are you trying to bring into the WFH or WFO debate?
- Comment on Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices? 8 months ago:
What’s your point here? What are you trying to say?
- Comment on Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices? 8 months ago:
What is he trying to say then? What the commentator mentioned and what the CEOs(including my own employer) were saying from 2020-2022 are at odds with each other. So someone is incorrect. Which one is it?
- Comment on Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices? 8 months ago:
You mean to tell us that the same CEOs’ reports that mentions productivity has gone up after going remote was a lie? Record breaking profits after going remote is a lie?
Why are the CEOs lying? One of the explanations is that the profit margin is 15% and the city is theatening to end the 15% tax break.
