I read an article this morning about Spotify and Shopify extending their remote work policy to the end of this year.

I think it can be a very good idea if it is done properly. I think that graduate dev should meet at an office much more than more senior devs for leanrning, training, etc... But senior devs should come as well (not that often) to push the good practices and mentor the newcomers and the graduate devs.

If managers trust their teams and the teams have enough senior devs, remote work can be incredible.
If you want to know more about that, you should definitely read Remote from the founders of Basecamp. I read it a few years ago and it changed a lot the way I worked remotely (even if it was just a few days a week).
