    There are pros and cons to both.

    On one hand commuting, even on a flexible schedule, helps building a routine and the clear separation is mentally positive and helps focus.

    On the other hand, some days I really need to stay home and work in my pajamas, with fewer interactions as possible, especially when it’s really cold or really hot. In those days an in-presence work day would be 10% productive, at least remotely in my safe environment it can get 20%.

    The best possible solution is flexible: try and be in presence whenever possible, but know that you have the option to go remote when in need. The best of both worlds. Unfortunately yes, it’s not always possible when the job requires some hardware.

      Yep, having the available flexibility is huge. I’ve done some working from home this week, in fact.
