HN is laser focused on TAMANG and anything happening in those few gets magnified out of proportions. For the rest of the boring industry, it is just business as usual.

Here in EU, my employer is struggling since early this year to recruit enough talents, as no one will accept an offer without full-remote or at least 95% remote contract, even if the pay is pretty good(adjusted recently with inflation) and they just live next door to office. Times like these are probably safe in non-sexy non-unicorn corporations and ancient businesses which are not into hip online businesses. :]
