Current Quantum computers are pretty limited, still. While they exist, they are nowhere near what the hope and hype suggest. Very much still a WIP. That said, development and breakthroughs are ongoing and it's not a stagnant field of study. It's just slow, currently. We need to figure out how to keep the qubits more stable, etc.

Oh man, 30 minutes would be nice. I don't think a 30 minute commute exists in Atlanta, especially if you're actually going into Atlanta. Remote work actually made Atlanta-based tech companies 1000% more accessible for employees because fuck spending 3 hours a day driving in and out of work.

Side note, I immediately think poorly of any tech company that chooses to put their office IN Atlanta instead of the outer metro. Most tech workers are in the suburbs and the drive. fucking. sucks. My rage is boiling just thinking about these fucksticks trying to drive people back into the office BUT PUTTING THEIR OFFICE IN FUCKING ATLANTA.

Yeah it seems like the fact that the bill might restrict service providers from offering services from certain countries that are considered bad actors is what is causing the rumor. I agree, there's a bunch of shit to talk about regarding the bill but everyone is focusing on the fear mongering rumors.

Yeah, it's 100% dependent on the company. Some are great at it, others suck. The only real difference is that it is a lot easier for a company to suck at it in remote work, because you're sort of on an island and need people to opt-in to helping you out. In an office, you can go pound on someone's door if it really comes down to it. Seems like it's easier and makes everyone happier if a company just tries to not suck at it.
