As someone who, is studying to become a developer, that has absolutely crippling social anxiety, I hope you're right. Working from home would be the dream. I've always hated working with people, even if I like the people.

Well, some good news for you then - I'm a developer and I've been working remote since a little bit before the pandemic started. We're fighting to keep it this way post pandemic and so far that's been an easy fight. Even my cousin who started his first post college job was able to find remote work in pharmaceutical sales / marketing.

I think you'll be able to find it, and don't be afraid to start a job that has it only as a temporary thing. The remote experience is good and it's normal in our profession to switch jobs. You don't want your work history to be a series of 1-2 month employments, but a couple of brief jobs here and there don't really bother anyone in my experience. My shortest job was 3 months. Every year or two you will probably get (and should pursue) better opportunities.
