I'd love it if my office could be the coffee shop, or wherever I happen to be, but so far I've found that after a certain level of complexity and team size you pretty much have to be in the same room to make constant progress. I'm not sure if this is a problem with software development in general or just in the niche that I work within.

My company does a SAAS product aimed at banks. Everybody except the office manager telecommutes... sometimes. And everybody is in the office a large chunk of the time.

It's good to be able to concentrate alone, AND it's good to be able to collaborate in person.

[looks in desk drawer] What, doesn't everyone have at least two sets of barista tools in their cube?
