I started to work remotely since I became an independent developer, just like creating my own company (a.k.a. consultant). This means that I can do my task anywhere. I currently work mainly at home, cafe, and bar. However, I may be able to work aside beach, on mountain, abroad if I want (and I have my strong will to work even in such places).

Some companies don't want their employees to work remotely, because they have their face to face culture (at least In Japan). They think highly of working at the same place, to create something cool. However, it is obvious that they cannot ban their outsourcings to work remotely. It is easier to be independent developer than applying remote jobs, in my opinion.
