I completely understand your point aben 🤔. And I respect you view, yes it can be a way to look after this thing 💁.

But I think you are somewhere around looking into this from the prospective of a senior developer. See, 1-2 days per week an option for developers to come to the office is something which would ofcourse be a good thing for experienced ones. But! The question is why would companies keep their offices just for people to visit 1-2 days of every week. From companies prospective this would not be a justified reason to spend their capital on offices 🏛.

Secondly it would be less serious nomalizing remote work as developers 🤷 can do 100% of the stuff from their homes. There are two things I would like to correct here 🚫, not only developers can work remotely but all jobs like content writing, graphic designing, product management, and all business roles like business analyst. Just leaving couple of jobs which are needed to have you go outside ( not office ! ) are not possible to be done remotely 💻. So, most companies will have no reasons to have offices which applies no office culture and work culture ⚠.

I am a tech person, I never said it's going to be good or bad. ( Yes I pointed out the good and bad sides though ). I know changes are needed , and people can't stop development or change by fearing them of uncertainity ⌛. Work from home would be the future. But yeah , it may end something called work culture and maybe freelancing. Just think when employees are working like freelancers , then why need a freelancer separately. The reasons are pointed in the above comment itself.

I meant 1-2 remote and nothing more. Not the opposite. I'm against remote work being the new normal!!!
