Hey there! I work here at DEV :) I think I mostly prefer working in the office, but I'm growing to like working remote. I think a successful remote location means an environment with little distractions. Communication is also key for remote workers, both from the team and to the team.

I'm going to respond to this one, because apparently I've never commented on an intro thread before!

So hi! My name is Karyme Virginia. I'm a student at Flatiron School learning full-stack web development with mainly Ruby and JavaScript. It's fun. :)

For now, I would prefer working remotely because I don't like commuting, but I quite enjoy the office environment!

Everyone I work with is shocked that I chose to move where I did because it means commuting over an hour into work. That said, I heard a big predictor of happiness is commute time, so you probably have the right idea!

I'm actually on the fence about that! If I'm taking public transit, there's sort of a dual-edged blade with that. Oftentimes I feel uncomfortable on public transit, but in theory it frees me up to read a book or something else I'd otherwise do in my free-time anyway. If that's the case, I feel I could handle a long commute. Even if I'm driving, I suppose I could listen to good music (which I hardly ever do on my own) or a podcast, or an audiobook!

Absolutely! I'm on public transit and am usually reading a book while listening to music. Sometimes a podcast (that's what I did this morning).

Hi! I'm Zephyr! I do full stack PHP/Angular work currently and like the elementary school-sourced magnets on my fridge say, I 'Love to Learn', 'Love to Write', and 'Love to Create'. I work on-site mostly because I have way too many projects at home.

Hello everyone! I'm an I.T. student who lives at Monteiro, state of Paraíba, Brazil. I'll finish my college next year, on Systems Analysis and Development, but, like almost everyone who are graduating on the same college, even recognizing the importance of both on software development, I prefer programming over systems analysis (doing UML diagrams, writing use cases, defining business rules, and so on). Because I love thinking about graphical interfaces, my favorite part of development is doing the front-end. Actually, I can write programs in Java, Python (Django) and JavaScript (worked with PHP but I'm forgetting it because it had some time) and now I'm learning Spring Boot and Angular, but have interest to learn other languages and frameworks, too. On my vacant hours, my favorite hobby is to change the UI of my Galaxy S7, with themes, icon packs, launchers and widgets (I used to install custom ROMs on my previous devices too).
About the question, when I'm home, I'm so lazy. When I take a bath, switch my clothes, drink my coffee and go to the college, a "trigger" is activated on my brain and I finally feel ready to work. Even on start of graduation, I always tried to do my projects on college laboratory or library. So, if I can choose, I would prefer work on an office.
