Oh yes for sure! I did not mean to suggest WFH is a bad idea under these circumstances.

I'm only trying to argue against a common sentiment here on HN, that working from home is more productive.

My personal beliefs are that a single WFH day a week in most instances might be net-positive for the company.

I think it can be much more productive if done properly. The problem is most likely of our established companies are only equipped- culturally- to do things the old way.

I’ve never grown more or learned more from other people than in the last 13 months at a remote startup. Even if it all folds over tomorrow I’m better off because of the opportunity. I say all of this as someone who is vocal about the challenges of remote work here and among my friends and colleagues.
