I've been developing software for over 35 years now and I've never worked in a environment where the development team/engineering team isn't geographically dispersed - even across countries. That includes the startups I've worked for. You might have 1 or 2 people at your location working with you on the same team. In my experience a critical part of being able to do this job is to be able to work on a team comprised of members residing in different parts of the world. Doesn't really matter to me whether they're going to an office or staying at home.
