It’s wild that Amazon wants RTO so bad when they’re famous for a philosophy of not letting teams talk to each other directly, and instead forcing every team to publish APIs for their services that other teams can consume.
I mean, sure you could still be collaborating internally with your team but they seem ideally suited to take advantage of remote work.
My guess is that for a lot of big tech companies, half the RTO push was just because they didn’t want to have to look like they overspent so much on super fancy lavish offices now that everyone was suddenly happier at home.
