I don't understand what this is supposed to mean.
They have not only become exactly what they fought against, they've refined it to perfection.
From the article, in office is 3 days per week - > We will then begin the hybrid pilot in full on May 23, with people coming to the office three days a week — on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday — and working flexibly on Wednesday and Friday if you wish.

What CS questions would be irrelevant for front end? I don't quite follow.
Deep questions about data structures and sorting algorithms that are perfectly addressed by the standard library in JS iirc. I understand that virtually anything in CS is or can be relevant, especially for such a competitive role. I don't think one should limit their knowledge wholly to a specific domain, but it seemed like there was so much emphasis put on these kinds of concepts that there was very little time left…
I suspect we are going to see some turmoil in the tech hiring space with stock prices taking a beating in recent months. Large companies have gotten away with paying under market price for talent because employees have seen massive gains from stock appreciation over the last decade. If total comp starts going down year over year, suddenly the more traditional, no-frills system at places like Apple, Microsoft and Amaz…

Woz to HP management: "Hey, I know we already sell computers, want to have a look at this one? If not, can I sell it myself?" HP to Woz: "Sure, go for it, good luck."

If "real estate" were the real reason, that'd just be an example of throwing good money after bad.
Personal investments in Bay Area housing by senior execs.
Getting your ass kissed all day can not feel the same remote as in person.
You can't replicate remotely the feeling of taking the elevator to your office with everyone you pass on the way knowing you are a big deal in the company.
This is all about "collaboration", wink wink.

> b) there's no such thing as "my own time" with Apple, since I was salaried and well-compensated. Is there 1 FAANG company that is the most friendly/accomodating to someone who wants to develop their own software/indiegames on the side?
Not FAANG but Red Hat employees can contribute to open source on their own time — even if it competes with something that Red Hat makes.
