Que interesante.

One of the best things a software engineer can do to add the most value is write code in such a way as to be easily understood and changed in the future by themselves or another engineer.

How can one be sure their code is easily understood if they don't talk about it over with their peers? Beyond a quick looksie over a PR, but really discuss it.

The more I work remotely the less idyllic it is.

Although, for my current situation, I do get 3 extra hours at home with my 10mo daughter and wife. Hay mucho mas amor en mi casa.

I agree. I'm also working from home due to my current situation. There are definitely advantages to working from home for developers themselves. I wrote the article primarily to note that there are some real costs to working remote and to have folks weigh those costs with the benefits.
