Do you prefer the flexibility of remote work or the energy of in-person collaboration?
Remote work offers the convenience of working from home or any location of your choice, saving commuting time and allowing for a better work-life balance. On the other hand, in-person collaboration has its unique advantages, such as the ability to communicate more directly and efficiently, quickly resolve issues, and experience the sense of camaraderie and collective effort within a team. Each working style has its own unique charm and challenges. Which one do you lean towards?

From my experience, office work is great for team collaboration. Meetings on zoom, teams etc are fine, but they lack certain flexibility. If you need total focus on certain task at hand, then yes, wfh is better option usually; but for dynamic discussions, office is better imho.
@sasa_prodribaba Absolutely! If you want to form a strong crew, it's important for your team to stick together.
I think in reality it will be hybrid. Most of the people work in office, while a few work remotely.
I prefer the energy of in-person collaboration. Working together in the same space fosters stronger relationships, trust, and a shared sense of purpose.
Hybrid for me! Some days are for collaborative work & some days are for creative/deep work.
I prefer remote because it offers flexibility, eliminates commuting time, and allows for a better work-life balance. It also enables me to create a comfortable and personalized workspace. What else could I ask for?
@elias_ari Remote work offers amazing flexibility and work-life balance! Creating a comfortable workspace is key.
I find too much distractions during WFH.
As you rightly say, both have their advantages and disadvantages. I found my balance by working two days in the office where I acquire and discuss the programming of new tasks and the other days I work from home where I proceed with what was planned while having continuous discussion with the other developers. So what I prefer is a hybrid solution
Remote work all the way! Collaborating on Google Meet or Zoom works for me :)
I just came to say i like your profile picture😀😀😀 @stylar_max
I prefer hybrid. While fully remote working has its advantages I don’t think you can build your company culture remotely. Personal interactions, water cooler conversations, lunch breaks are super important. It’s these things that build camaraderie which is SO important for a team to function smoothly
@namrata_arya Hybrid is a great approach because life is full of diverse experiences and possibilities. Just notified!
I've been working remotely for 6 years, and the only things I miss about the old office routine are the coffee machine conversations and the Wednesday pizza lunches with the team. Working remotely has allowed me to give more space to my life outside of work, which has significantly impacted my productivity in many ways. In my case, productivity has increased exponentially, even though I spend less time working compared to when I used to go to the office every day. However, there's always a bit of nostalgia for the past routines.

Remote work is great for balance, but I thrive on the direct communication and camaraderie of in-person collaboration.

I prefer a hybrid schedule that allows me to come in as needed: When it comes to troubleshooting issues or discussing ideas, in-person collaboration is much more productive for me.
I love the flexibility of remote work, but nothing beats the energy of in-person collaboration - it's like choosing between WiFi and a wired connection, both have their perks!
