       | I'm more productive at home anyway. I bet that most office
       | workers could work 5-6 hours and complete their tasks faster than
       | in the office.
       | 
       | I hate the office, I hate pretending to be interested in some bs
       | stories, I hate commuting. I want to maximize my time offline to
       | spend time with my family and pursue other interests. I just like
       | programming and working with a team that has the same goal and
       | can stay focused. I don't care if someone is talking to me from a
       | couch, kitchen, library or a coffee shop.
       | 
       | I used to go to the office, and some people would come in for 6
       | hours and leave....and that didn't bother me either. If I'm not
       | management I don't care if someone is doing 0 work, it is on
       | management to measure performance.
       | 
       | I'm sure when my time is up, I won't be thinking "man I really
       | wish I could spend more time commuting or sitting in a cubicle".
