Decentralizing the office lets us decentralize where we live. You can live outside a city or in the middle of nowhere as long as you have a good internet connection. Makes cost of living go down, and puts less pressure on the real estate industry for high density areas.

Imo a huge win in the long run.

It's sad because we've lost a lot of great developers to this notion that the only way to move up is to move on. It sucks, but it seems like companies these days think they're buying you in at a particular price and it's ok to drip feed you raises over the years, and then are surprised when you move on to another company willing to pay you what you're really worth at that point.

I would love to be kept up to date with something like this.

if you care to, send me an email (address in profile), and i'll follow-up (just the once) in about a month with where i think it's going.

Hey, I don't seem to be able to see your email on your profile. I might be doing something incorrect though, I'm new to being logged in to HN

ahh, ok. i don't get it either :-)
