I studied at university and chose a programmer path quite indirectly and rather much because the thought of being physically and temporally bound to external and impersonal locations and tools and interactions, for labor, made me nauseous. I worked "remote" also at the office, reclusively, seen somewhat as an alien by colleagues (not unjustly) for whom meeting room bookings were actually critical. I'm not complaining, but it's not all glamour either. You get what you stake out.
