I'll add one more thing - the physical space makes it much clearer what you should be paying attention to. If there's a group of programmers standing behind someone's chair looking stressed, there's probably an outage I can be helpful with. If I see an engineering manager and a product manager have what sounds like a rancorous conversation, that's something I am going to check in on later. If I see someone always coming over to my team, I'm going to ask who they are because I probably need to know them. All of this simply doesn't happen so easily in full-remote, and it has huge cumulative networking, team-building, etc effect over time. That said, I am not looking to come in to the office every day either, but I'd love to have at least occasional (weekly/monthly/whatever) in person connection to people and teams I work with.
