The challenge of remote work is that a competent person capable of passing interviews can have 2 or more jobs simultaneously.

If you do the job required in time, there is no reason this should be a problem for your manager. People can work remotely from the office as well. Just costing them time and money for nothing.

This is what worries me. Once employers catch on it's gonna mess it up for the people who need to work from home (older engineers who have kids and maybe health issues who are really benefitting from saving on the commute).

There is already a huge community of developers doing this : https://www.reddit.com/r/overemployed

Being in an office is your "mutex lock". Once you remove that lock, you can have multiple jobs, unless you are based enough to work a second job from an office.

Personally I would not do it, but there are perverse incentives to do it and that is a predictor that people will do it.

Which will lead to ultra high taxes in europe and is even legal in some(if you work both 100% without the other noticing). I don't see a problem, nearly noone would do that where I live, free time > money (at least knowing that the income from one ML job is probably quite enough).
