It seems like that fully in-person, fully remote, and hybrid teams will all exist, and most people will be able to get their preferences satisfied. You also can’t show up to a startup and sling COBOL or to a bank and cowboy Elixir. People will sort themselves into jobs that match their styles. Perhaps it is “unfair” that remote work partisans will have to go through a job search and I won’t, but you win some and lose some. My job does not optimize my personal happiness either, that’s why they pay me.
