Letting Employees Work Remotely Pays Off

Sounds like a cool idea. But frankly, for me, I hate programming on a laptop (which I have to do when I travel.) I much prefer the 3 * 22" monitor setup I have in the office. Not to mention the comfy chair, office-with-a-door and so on.

I can see how it kinda makes sense, a bit of fun, and a bit of holiday, good team building and so on, but its not something that appeals to me. Maybe, probably, I'm just too old....

Edit - it also probably helps that I live in a town with good weather all year round.

Working remotely doesn't have to mean traveling while you work. You can live wherever you want and have an office at home. Being able to choose where you want to live based on factors other than your ability to find employment there greatly increases quality of life (and a happy programmer is a productive programmer).

I had that problem before getting a retina MBP. I've basically retired my desktop at this point, and when I need some quiet time with the monitors, I can drive three externals plus the onboard display.

(I'm getting rid of my 3x23" 1080p panels for two 27" 2560x1440 panels, because I want to be able to drive those and my Cintiq at the same time.)
