I mostly agree with you, but I'm not giving you an upvote because I just went through the following: I worked in an office with an open floor plan. It was freezing all the time, strategists come over every 10 minutes and tap you on the shoulder, someone closed a deal so people break out the whistles and air horns and shit, and when you did work from home for a day, people made you feel guilty. I got tired of it and said "fuck it, I'm looking for a new job". I got a number of interviews from companies of all walks of life, but they all had one thing in common: Programming jobs with the application on Github and the ability to use your own computer for development. So why the fuck not work from home? Well, turns out only one company I interviewed with let people work remotely. In fact, that company is completely remote with no real office. And that's the job I took. You see, these jobs are rare and I sympathize with anyone who is stuck working in an office and wants to work from <insert location here>.
