I'm not sure how I feel about it. In some ways I'd love to go back to remoting because it offers a lot of freedoms that can't exist in an office with other people. But the last five years have taught me that there is a lot of value in structure, routine, and especially physical presence.
The thing that tips the scales in favor of remoting for me is the lack of a commute. Commuting sucks and I hate it and it's terrible. I think if my office was a walk away (right now it's 50 minutes by car or 2h30m by bus), I would probably stick with working in the office. At least the coffee is free.
I agree, but structure and routine can certainly exist remotely, and while physical presence is great, remote video calls aren't a bad 2nd place. You just need a team culture where poking someone on Slack and asking if they have a few minutes to chat is a normal thing. I'm on and off calls with various members of my team all the time.
