I don't do a lot of software development anymore. I had to look up attribute vs element. But it took all of 5 seconds to understand. Often I know how to use something even though I won't know the names of the parts.

As for 3, I can understand for specific cases, like interviews. But most meetings I don't feel comfortable inviting people into my home. That's a fine line for me.

That was an older example, and not really a great question. But it did demonstrate they didn’t have a deep grasp of things on their CV

everything below is just my personal opinion

To be clear I don’t have a draconian “camera on or fuck you fired” approach. I mean this more as what I see as a reasonable expectation from someone fully working from home.

Ive heard the “inviting into your home” argument, but when its a fully remote job, it kinda comes with the territory and should be expected. I am lucky enough to have a separate room to work from, but I still also use a virtual background. I can’t recall anyone who doesn’t at least blur it out.

Fully remote work comes with the expectation of having a private working area, away from disturbances etc. Where its less like inviting someone into your home, and more like they are in your personal workspace.

As well, to be more specific. When I would personally have my camera on and a reasonable expectation others would, is in meetings / calls where the invitees are all expected to be participating, not meetings where you’re invited and sit there wasting time for an hour.

IMO, after working from home years, communication is noticeably and significantly clearer and more productive when we can see each other
