I think it's safe to say there are people who work best in radically different environments. I can't stand working from home, or working from a coffee shop. I also can't stand offices where everyone is just wearing their headphones as if to say "don't you dare ask me about something important that I know a lot about." What's the point in being at the office? In my opinion and experience, professional programming is a deeply collaborative experience. But of course other people who ostensibly do the same kind of work have completely different preferences, and that's great. It does mean that people need to be very careful what kind of company they take a job at.
