The point that the "100% remote at all cost brigade" miss is that we are human beings and humans require a mix of small talk and serious work to excel. You don't do that on slack with giphys and emojis. It sucks. I don't care about arguments against it. I personally prefer hybrid model where we should have flexibility to wfh but also be able to work in person with colleagues. The day we completely normalize 100% wfh, we might as well invent robots to do the job. Humans are not robots. We will never be. We need those small talk at times.

I understand why the 100% remote gang don't like hybrid either because it still forces you to stay close to work. But if you want to be a digital nomad, you might as well freelance and not do full time. My opinion.

Shameless plug: We are hiring in South Jersey/Philadelphia region for my edtech startup and if you are interested, hit me up. Various roles. Hybrid would be awesome.
