I am the opposite, I thrive when I work from home. But it's important for me to have a dedicated space for it, not in my bedroom, and free from distractions like wife, kids, pets, and neighbors with drills.

My home setup is 10x better than at the office... I have a great desk with lots of space, big awesome monitors, awesome keyboard and mouse with kvms to make switching to my personal PC easier. My coffee is better than any work coffee machine I ever used. My internet is much faster and more reliable.

I shit you not, at the last company I worked they proxied all web traffic through another country thousands of km away. As expected, it worked like shit and was failing constantly. And you couldn't even access repos like maven central, because they used a proxy autoconfig file with hundreds of rules, which is not supported by any software except browsers.

And there's also the benefits of having a private office, away from noisy coworkers and prying eyes.
