I would consider myself a highly productive person and I have many of the qualities they pointed out. I can’t program that long, I program in hyper-focused bursts. I have had many coworkers comment/complain that it looks like I’m not working because I’m surfing the web, watching YouTube, daydreaming, etc. But I’m constantly designing, debating, and thinking out how I should implement something that by the time I actually go to code it I know what needs to be done and bust it out in a couple hours. My managers commented on this early in my career because other developers think I’m lazy, unprofessional, or unproductive when I’m usually the most productive person on the team. Working from home removes this problem for me.
