Right now I'm a combination of both. I am in the office two times a week and working from home the other days. I also have a very short commute of only about ten minutes to the office.

I myself love working from home and if I was full time working from home I would have no issues. I'm more productive and I have all the tools I need to effectively work with people. While I understand the office setting, I myself feel like I stay more productive at home, because I feel like it has less "context switching" and distractions.

So while the combination works right now, I myself would choose work from home fully if I could.

So when you go to office, what generally happens that day? I mean is that a brainstorming day or sprint planning day or you just go to meet colleagues.

It pretty much is just a normal work day. One of the days I go in does happen to be for sprint planning, but it's pretty much just to be in the office.

My work is a big time believer in an open office and face-to-face interactions so they just pretty much would like to make sure there is always someone in the office.
