if you look at people who work in tech. majority of the engineers are foreign, the local Americans are in sales and marketing. So this definitely checks out. Without foreign talent, Americans are going to be stuck selling and marketing to each other 20 year technologies

There is a weird aspect of the human brain that we tend to forget minor nuisances. That doesn't take away from them sucking in the moment, but I commuted for 9 years and I can't recall any one specific commute, in the same way that I can't recall any one specific diaper I changed for my kids (and there were hundreds).

I think we gave up an experience which is better remembered, for an experience that feels better in the moment. The analogy of having kids comes to mind.

In a thread I saw someone say they were looking forward to everyone coming back to the office. But people pointed out traffic would be worse, the office would be loud, and other general annoyances. I’ve been mixed since it started and I can say when I start missing one reality hits and I realize I don’t. Home is just better for a lot of reasons, but for me it’s mostly sleeping in. And traffic just sucks.

Sure, but the thing with that is if Twitter loses utility because of those moves, a lot of users and companies will just either leave the platform entirely or at least greatly de-prioritize it.

Twitter may well end up being the thing that's not relevant when all is said and done.
