Someone make this make sense.

I'm a software developer. I need three things in order to do every aspect of my job on a day-to-day basis:

• A computer
• An internet connection
• Coffee

Most of my coworkers are in other states and even other countries. The closest physical office is an hour away, and has 0% of the people I work with most of the time. If I go to the office, it's for one of only two possible reasons: To attend a team event where others have flown in, or to see a couple very specific coworkers who it's helpful to see in person, but I only have a reason to interact with them once every few months.

At home I have a comfortable desk to work at, a door I can close, my "coding music" playlist, and no one breathing down my neck or asking me for anything. I'm productive, I'm happy, and when my work day is done, I can just step out of my little office area and... I'm home. And on days when I have no meetings, I can take my laptop to a coffee shop and work in an ambiance I find relaxing and fun.

Presumably, Amazon's developers feel the same. And especially after almost three years away from the office and 100% remote hiring, many of their teams consist of people who don't live anywhere near an Amazon office.

So... Why in the everloving fuck would Amazon want to do this?!?
