sure that's nice but i usually work with an actual team where fast changes to hardware is needed. can't really do that through github issues.
Those are fair points, but not my points. I'm working with people from all over the world and being in an office would bring zero benefit for me. aside from being on the road for two to three hours a day.
This is why I appreciate a hybrid and very flexible approach. My work wants us in the office, but isn't really particular about it. Because we do work with so many international colleagues and have late/early meetings and travel quite a bit, as long as you're usually in any one of our offices for a few hours 3-4 days a week, they really don't care. Having come from an identical work environment that was 100% WFH, I honestly prefer a flexible in-office because it does make collab much easier, while still allowing for a good work/life balance.
Being in the office drains me a lot, so I prefer to work 100% from home. But I know different people have different preferences, so to each their own.
yeah that's not useful. there are eobvious upsides to wfh in some areas so it should be used there. it would benefit everyone.
