What's the current state of remote work? I know different parts of the world react differently to this trend.<p>Do you see this trend going up or down? Strongly or weakly?<p>If you're a decision maker, have you considered remote worker? If yes, why? If you considered and rejected this concept, then why?
Still an upward trend of medium strength.<p>I do know more people working remotely now than ever.<p>And I see more employers and clients voluntarily stating that remote is OK for new positions.<p>Then again, I still know some people that would prefer to go to an office to keep the separation of work and home.<p>I think remote works great for the majority of development jobs. You get a larger talent pool regardless of location, you can pay less for office space, the developers tend to be more self-managing, and everyone is forced to communicate openly in public forums (Slack, project tools, etc).
