IT is one of the best fields for working from home. You should consider that or we have a profound bias.

And, it's true that commuting and working in badly designed open office spaces are extremely bad for productivity.

On the other hand working in a group can be a lot more productive than alone in the home office even connected electronically because we are humans and need social stimulation, but this is not true for everybody.

We should not forget these points when commenting.

I'm human, and I need social stimulation. What I really dislike is forced social stimulation. I would go to an office, yes. But monthly, not daily.

Same here. I miss my colleagues. But my preferred intensity of contact would be having a lunch together. Only my family should get 8.5 hours of my time every day.
