The arguments against remote work often remind me of the arguments that we used to hear against Amazon vs brick and mortar retailers: "Amazon is never going to replace them because people like too much the social aspect of going to the store and maybe bump into their neighboors". Yes, of course, working from home is much more productive. This is true for creative professions especially (like software development or content creation), where the ability to focus and concentrate is essential for getting anything done. It's very demoralizing and stressful to have your day split up into 1000 random interruptions, very hard to code or write productively in those circumstances. Most meetings are useless and this is especially true for standups, and deep down we all know it. In most companies, people get to their desk and just start emailing people 3 meters away, might as well do it from home. All this wasted time, unnecessary facetime and excessive long hours, polution caused by transports, wasted time from peoples lives comutting, simply in the name of doing things the way that they where always done. Remote work will be very common in 10 years, the economics are there: people want it as they want a better life, they save money, and the companies save money too.
