> Remotely, I’m vastly more productive in getting coding work done. I’m sure most people would agree.

I certainly don't agree at all. Home is where all the distractions are. Home is where i can drift off to make a cup of tea and end up spending an hour reading the newspaper without anyone noticing.

I think it would be useful to understand the distribution of peoples' feelings and experience about this. I have seen so many remote work enthusiasts just taking it as read that everyone prefers remote work because they do.



Sure, I get that. But the office has just as many if not more distractions. Much easier to get pulled into a conversation while getting tea at the office.
