I remote. Do you remote?

No. Individual can never be as efficient as a team, distributed team can never be as efficient as colocated one. For me, if you take your job serious, you want to efficient at it - you work on-site with a colocated team. Personally for me office is a good boundary, that helps keeping work/life balance - no to little work outside of office (hours). Commuting time I spend reading, or riding a. bicycle, if weather allows.

There’s suprisingly little cons for full remote, I think you’re a bit biased )

Office cons is that watercooler conversations are not written? for remote they are not even happening))

I strongly disagree. Efficient communication is not related to how people communicate, but what they communicate.

There is a #watercooler channel for that.
