Pros

I have results-based objectives are almost always solved, and solveable with, code --and now code +agentic ai to hit scale-- so there is never time stuck in 'toil' work.

Cons

This is a minor gripe compared to the above, but full time office is a wash for my personal productivity, but it's a lot easier now that my kids are older.

Pros

None left that I know of.

Cons

Culture is getting more aggressive. Nobody wants to own anything, it can be very difficult to get help or work with other teams. Everyone is stretched thin and on edge.
