Before remote, the office was already increasingly hostile.
Open floor plans, some groups having shared seating, and offices for roughly no one.
Now, it’s worse. Everything is “reservable equipment” of garbage monitors, windows keyboards, and 400 dpi mice.
I suspect it’s harder for a junior to succeed anywhere today vs 2012. The office is not built to foster development or innovation. It’s an exec’s idea of what a software factory looks like, and it’s a bad one.
