I’m reading tons of articles about remote work and I’m curious how the HN commmunity thinks about it.

#2I sincerely don't, I don't see a reason to waste time and money commuting every day. As is I hate driving, but even with public transit why do I want to waste an hour or an hour 30 per day.
I've been able to save so much money in the last year, for the first time in my life I would be fine for good amount of time if I got fired today. I very much do expect big companies to force workers back in the office, tons of middle managers don't feel like they're being effective if they can't stare at you typing for 8 hours

Thanks for sharing, I did not know either. It is hidden and forbidden if you have under 200 karma which might explain why it is not that well known.

#8I love working from home and would never work in an office again. I prefer the freedom of schedule, quietness and lack of constant surveillance from my bosses.
It feels like the office was geared 100% for extroverts and finally introverts have an option that works for them. My productivity has never been higher and my stress has never been lower.

#9I've found a new level of self worth not being told when I have to be in a seat and when I'm allowed to leave it.

#10I wish I had the flexibility to choose. I definitely find driving to work rather relaxing (only because I can take the back road).
