Why would the leaders care?

It’s currently a buyers market for employees, they can flex as much as they want and desperate people will still flock to them.

It's 2026.

If you are truly exceptional, you will get a WFH allowance in most organizations - that said, most developers are not.

If you want to be remote-first you will have to become mission critical, otherwise it is hard to justify not hiring someone in India, Israel, or Poland remotely.
