Apple asks staff to return to office 3 days a week starting in early September
I work for another company that is going to do a partial return to office.  I will be looking at options for companies that offer full in person office (or 90% in person office) after things settle down.  I  have worked full remote for a total of 5 years of my career, and I believe working in the office is a competitive advantage.* Overhearing hallway conversations (and joining them) helps spawn invocation.* I often do/did paired programming, and over-the-shoulder code reviews.  These are easier in person* Having a workforce socially close improves productivity because everyone wants to step up for each other.* Being seen by my fellow employees helps keep me from becoming distracted.* Working at the office helps prevent home life from being distracting during work hours.There are some personal benefits I enjoy from being in the office.* I save money by spending less on food, drinks, and electricity.* I enjoy the routine.* I had a stronger work/life separation.  I rarely turned on my work laptop at home.
