Maybe in the past but those days are long gone. The key to longevity is to make sure your work is of critical importance to the company. And if you're let go it isn't the end of the world, lots of dev work to be done.

The key to longevity was always to make your work of critical importance to the company. But everybody else is doing the same thing. The point was being remote is a strike against you, and you really have to distinguish yourself to overcome it.

All of the remote teams that I've worked on have at least 50% of the team also working remote, so it tends to be a wash.
