I work from home often.  I like working from home.  I fight to work from home.  I&#x27;ve worked from home off and on for over a decade.<p>That said, in my experience there are some things that are just done better face to face.  Not many, but some.<p>* meetings where you want to sketch something out--I haven&#x27;t found a digital solution for sketching say, architecture diagrams, that works as well as a whiteboard.<p>* the chance to meet and interact with someone outside of your team&#x2F;department by happenstance, say at a FAC.  Of course, you can go onto different slack channels, but I think the interaction wouldn&#x27;t be as fluid.<p>* one on ones.  While I guess a hangout might give you some of the face to face time, video conferencing isn&#x27;t as high bandwidth as face to face conversation, including all the nuances of pauses, body language, etc.<p>I think there might be others, and I bet they all have the component of physicality that can&#x27;t be delivered digitally.  (Yet?  Maybe VR will deliver it.)<p>I&#x27;m not a fan of required in office work, but see the tremendous value in it on occasion.<p>Edit: formatting
