I agree on that, but also sometimes I find myself much more productive when I work from home. There is a lot less distraction, no interruptions, quiter, can play my favorite music in the background, -- very important things to productivity when you are coding. But I also find that when I am in office, I can do things faster, if it is something when there are other people involved. I can go to their desk and discuss about how to resolve a particular issue, maybe even draw things on a whiteboard. It helps a lot. So, Ideally I would like to come to work only 2-3 days a week, and work from home the rest. But unfortunately my manager would probably feel uneasy about it, as he is not a former engineer, so he just wont understand. So giving him these arguments wont be enough. There have to be some direct and measurable economic benefits for a company to allow telecomuting en masse.
