I actually hated work from home and my productivity dropped like a rock. Doesnt matter anymore though, the small company was bought by private equity who immediately merged it with a foreign company and started cramming AI into every nook and cranny.

I’m scraping by on cleaning carpets and air ducts now… sure it barely pays a fraction of a software dev salary but I no longer dread having to log in and feign enthusiasm in morning standup meetings anymore :)
