To the tech people who actually want to go to the office, I'm genuinely curious what sort of work you do that makes that useful. I would say that I get the same work done that I did while I was in the office but I spend about 25% of the time to do it. The other 75% was composed of commuting, random office conversations, getting coffee, sitting in my office waiting for a meeting, going to lunch, taking breaks, working not in flow state etc.

I'd really like to understand what it is that people actually do in offices that makes it worthwhile for them, the image I have in my mind is just the standard uncharitable "well my job is fake and an office helps me pretend it's not" manager/MBA person. Even doing hardware I find I get more done at home with occasional trips in to integrate things.
