You are assigning to me a much more extreme view than I hold. I neither dismiss the desire to do remote work (I express some of it for myself) nor oppose it "categorically". I am simply saying that the "pros" are obvious to everyone but the cons are more subtle and may not be relevant for everyone. I also think someone's ability to self assess their own productivity is suspect:one may feel productive because they coded undistributed all day - when I'm reality the most productive thing they could have done that day is perceived that two juniors were arguing over a silly point and set them straight - something they'd have done in the physical but not virtual office.
