These I-talk-with-people-for-a-living perspectives on return-to-office are exactly why I have never wanted to be in an office setting. I get why the author wants to be in the office; he thrives on social interaction.
Sometimes I'm seventeen levels deep in the debugger, the complete application state in my head, all the what-ifs and then-whats neatly in focus... and a coworker starts interrogating me about the game last night... Those moments of social interaction sour me right quick fast in a hurry.
That's about an hour of productivity lost right there, and now my motivation to start this work again is well below freezing.
I'm willing to go to the office one day a week. That's it, no more. Not now, not ever again.
