Most software engineers find themselves most effective in work from home. This breaks in favor at 3:4 or higher.
The software engineers that want to work in office are the odd-balls.
I am interested in the break down when one factors in whatever concept of '10x developers' -- which do the most productive of us prefer?
We have a remote of you want policy and the only two guys who use it also live in the nieghboring towns.
But when compared to the modern nearly-universal open office plan... yeah there's no doubt I'd much rather work from home as often as possible, and based on my experience in both environments I'll be far more productive doing the job from home. Everyone's mileage may vary.
Indeed. Give me a proper office with a door, like I had for the first 18 years of my career, and I'll happily go to the office every day.
But open office? Nope, nope, nope. Work from home or nothing.
But on that day all of those people might've chosen to work from home so you sit all alone in the office.
The hybrid solution only really works well if the office days are the same for everyone.
If the staff actually find this face-to-face time valuable, they'll organize and go into the office themselves, personally I've had zero requests from anyone to do that outside of explicit team-building activities.
We used to have so that every Thursday was "come to the office if you can" -day, but switched to the poll system.
For my first few years of WFH, my office was my bedroom, so I just threw a KVM between my home PC and the work laptop and shared monitors and input devices. I eventually set up a standalone office.
> the generality; the common herd
GP was countering the possibility that GGP meant the above.
I also claim that I'm more productive but it's obviously a lie in order to continue WFH.
Edit: Clearly not so your assertion is bull.
