Articles about home working often ignore the social aspects too. I enjoy working in the office for many reasons but top amongst them is the social interactions.
Like many many engineers I was attracted to the role because I would work with other people like me, geeks and nerds (I realise there's a potential side critique about cultural homogeneity here). Being in the office is fun because I can make relatively obscure Cosmere or boardgame references and folk get them (not everyone but in normal society no one does). In that way it's relaxing, even if it's still a workplace.
