(not having me in person forces people to think about and write down exactly what they want to say or ask before they actually say it)&lt;p&gt;- My home setup is significantly nicer than my office set up.&lt;p&gt;- Open office means I hear all about everyone&amp;#x27;s past or upcoming weekends, vacations, etc.&lt;p&gt;- I enjoy stretching or doing small exercises throughout the day, which is super weird to do while in the office (plus no yoga mat).&lt;p&gt;- People low key hate me because I am the only person with a mechanical keyboard and make lots of noise when I start typing a lot. (I&amp;#x27;ve learned to ignore the not so subtle stare downs)&lt;p&gt;So probably my biggest thing is the open office problem. As a programmer, being in the middle of a group of chatty 20-30 somethings all day is not great for productivity.</text><parent_chain><item><author>eddieh</author><text>I like working from my office.

If the office is half an hour away (which really isn&amp;#x27;t that bad if you live or work outside of a city), and you work from home, you get a whole hour back every day. I don&amp;#x27;t think I would ever make it to the gym if I had a long commute.</text><parent_chain><item><author>eddieh</author><text>I like working from my office.
