Difficult to answer 🤔. But after giving it a deep thought I think Remote Work will be even more possible than ever. However it won't be easy.
While trying to write an answer to the question I could only think about the complicated stuff I face daily in my work environment:
Communication with clients
Communication with teammates
Defining and discussing priorities for the work to be done
Finding right information in the web
Trying to be as productive as possible
These stuff, nowadays, make Remote Work unthinkable for many people/companies but in ten years all these "issues" could be less a thing.
And I think so because there are many companies sharing their Remote Work knowledge, many companies being open to try WFH days, having remote workers, trying to adopt remote culture, and even companies that are born remote-first. We can learn from them on how to start, how to proceed, what not to do, and so on.
So, although it seems difficult and unthinkable these days, probably in ten years it might change and I hope it does.
Hi, I'm Gregory Brown.
My goal is to help software developers get better at what they do, whether they've been at it for five weeks or fifty years.

I've only worked remotely throughout my career, with the exception of a handful very short term onsite consulting engagements.
I definitely think it's getting both easier and more acceptable to work remotely, relative to when I started in the early 2000s.
I also like the hybrid models some companies offer where people go into the office to collaborate as-needed, but can work from home, co-working spaces, coffee shops, libraries, etc. as often as they want.
