> I always saw tech as the field where a disproportionally large amount of people truly love what they do
That used to be true, before smartphones arrived and before DevOps became a thing.
Now it is what it is - a lot of (mediocre or worse) people working on something they don't particularly like, in order to get by. And that's ok.
The romantic days of IT are over, there are no more heated discussions and geeky hobbies we all used to love.
I thought working from home would be great. But after I did it for 12 months, I became sick of it. What I think now is that hybrid model works for me - I can go to the office when I want to, but if it's raining outside or I feel really bad - I can stay and WFH.
For some people, full remote works. For some - full on premises works. For some - hybrid is good.
I guess this falls into de gustibus non disputandum est category, but my unpopular opinion is that IT is full of impostors and that a huge number of impostors uses work from home as incompetence disguise - because it's so easy to hide incompetence while you're away from anyone who can spot you.
