Could not agree more. By experience, some workshops, requirements meetings and creative discussions are better held in person, but with todays tools reviewing, pair programming and solo working undisturbed is way better for my head and productivity.

However, for juniors and certain devs in our team, its absolutely necessary to be in a populated office env. to get the most out of them, i have noticed. These are the ones needing more attention, quick tips or mentoring in general. Most of our senior devs/ops love working remotely AND they get to spend less time traveling = more time for family and health.

Any CTO/PMO should measure productivity AND employee health in combo when evaluating wether to force people to the office or not, IMO
