I like remote work as my home setting is much better than most office. I can use my favorite aroma vaporizer while I work at home (which you can't at work). I have my own clean toilet. I have my own healthy snack and drinks. I can wear comfy clothes and slippers. I'm less tired as I don't waste time on commuting. I've read more books due to saved time. I do housework chores during breaks so at the end of the day, I have more time to do other pleasant things, such as reading or giving my loved one a nice massage.
For pair programming I think Live Share in VSC is quite useful. To be more async and less disturbing, I found Twist is better than Slack.
But I'd admit that I am not into online meeting for social purpose due to screen fatigue. Instead I want to finish work then I can go read or sew, doing other things than facing computer.
Maybe I am an introvert so I don't think I miss a lot of interaction... or I had experience of working on tasks remotely before I transit into software development, I'm more used to this mode of working than people who are forced into this.
We're all different. It makes me happy to read you're enjoying working from home. I enjoy it too because it gives me more time to exercise, and do other fun hobbies. Such as write content for DEV :D
But screen fatigue is a problem. And for some time during the panedmic I lived alone and it got lonely, but now I live with my partner so that's better.
Indeed, having a partner at home makes a difference than living alone unless you truly enjoy being alone all the time. That's why I think Spotify's work anywhere policy is awesome. :)
