Gregory's Server@linkeddev This, and while I'd call myself an introvert, I actually missed seeing coworkers in person during the lockdowns, and also e.g. having lunch with people. OTOH, I've never worked in the corporate hellscape that the media suggests the American open-plan office to be. (I know the OP is a joke template, but I keep seeing that point made seriously far too often.)

 @chrpistorius @linkeddev I'm working 40% in the office now, and I find 20%β40% pretty much perfect. That's in an office that is open-plan but with big desks which got bigger thanks to the pandemic and physical distancing, nice pantry with sofa and plenty of conference rooms. The pandemic did a lot of good both for improving the office itself and also for working there less. |

Open-plan is a big reason for wanting to be in an office sometimes: gotta see what my colleague is typing, what software they are using, etc
The other reason are brainstorms: somehow it's easier to burst out stupid ideas without a camera.
But most of the time i'm quite content to work from home: no disruptions when i'm feeling in-the-zone, no travel-time, taking breaks without feeling awkward, etc
