    Funny because all the people I know who work in tech have to go to the office a couple of times a week 🤷

      Yeah but even pre pandemic most the tech jobs were in cities where car was not the preferable commute option.

      I can get into work in 45 minutes by train. If I drive in it’ll take me an hour and 20 or so during rush hour.
