Nope. Too much effort.
Uh... there are most certainly not hundreds of software jobs in Remote, OR. That would be a place barely more than a wide spot in the road. Entirely befitting of its name, it is left of nowhere. I have no doubt it lacks ANY form of high speed internet access.

The read on these offers should be you could work offshore or domestically.

None of the facilities are really proximate to combustible materials which lowers the risk considerably. There are areas of very stubby grass patches some distance away, any ignition of that would be easily contained. Roads and asphalt barriers would slow the progress of flames.

Other than overhead power service (which is fed off very tall high-tension lines) other utilities are underground.

People access is probably the greatest risk. Depending on the spread of the employee's living there may be challenges getting to work.

Scratch.mit.edu by MIT is a great introductory vehicle. They can play and share games that they or their friends have created. And then take games they like and change how they work.

Fantastic!

My experience says...depends. It did not make a difference in the current job, but it did on the next (a 5% bump to be exact.) As I've heard from others too, you'll likely need to change positions to recognize the value.
