That sounds like the worst of both worlds. You're on the hook for all the costs of an office, not just a small uptick in power and data use. You can't put on laundry or chat with your spouse during a break. And you have lost the advantages of in-person communication with your team.

Agree with those downsides but the benefit is still in saving time on commuting, which for me is the biggest benefit.

Depends what you are looking for. It's great to avoid the commute.

I think it's an attractive solution. I'd get all the benefits of working from home with far fewer of the drawbacks.

Honestly, I'd consider that a small price to pay to be able to avoid going to the office.
