    I don’t mind being at work, The office is nice, the people are awesome. Blowing a couple hours a day driving to and from, hundreds in gas, tires, oil, replacement cars is just absolutely unreasonable for a job that doesn’t need that.

      Yeah I always try to commute during work hours too so it really eats into my coding time. They don’t seem to care 🤷‍♂️

      It’s mostly just a hassle to work that into the day and also still work and pickup my kids from school. I do way more driving than I should be for a job that’s all online but somehow I’m in the car for so much of the day

      Just owning a car can be optional if you are a remote either.

      We are a one car family. It saves so much stress, and money. Not possible if I had to go into the office even 1 day/week. Literally thousands of dollars/year in savings
