Working remote for a while now, first 10km away from the office (so, hopping in was always possible), now ~70~ km away (still easy, but I'm not there in a moment and actively try to discourage on-site meetings). I have to agree with the article about possible distractions at home. Got a 1.x year old son, will have a daughter in < 30 days. I'm confident that I'm doing a good job, I really prefer working without the (especially in our company culture) regular interruptions in the office. But .. family and home office needs really strict rules _and_ the right environment. We moved 11/13 for the most part to give me a room that is isolated from the daily noise of a family. If you're having a family and consider remote work: It is possible, but you need to make sure that your SO is on board and you need to expect some downtime while you're trying to adapt. I think it's totally doable, but anything but easy.
