Agree with all of this Brady. I've worked remotely for 22 years and best advice I can ever give anyone is have an "office", space where you'll not be disturbed by partner, kids and maybe even pets. Cannot stress how much a door between the two worlds is.

With the invention of coworking spaces, those are a good option for socialising my local one has space/desk by the day with a lot of people who are writers rather than coders. Nice change of scene and they have a Friday evening beer call.

My team are 100 miles away so I do go to the office once a month or so but I tend use that time for catchup/face time rather than actual work except for odd Sprint planning/retro meetings.
