As a software engineer, I'm doing 1-day a week in office. I feels like a decent balance. Any more than a day seems ridiculous because I would have no reason to be there. I could be in the office by myself at times because the others are in meetings and I just need to code.

It does help to have face-to-face conversations with co-workers because simply the easiest way to share ideas and thoughts. The 1-day a week feels a little more than enough to do this, but I can deal with it.

And because of the environment I don't feel very productive coding, but I suppose it was productive to have face-to-face conversations, which helps us stay connected with each other.

Same here. I like the 1 day in the office to meet face to face with people I work with. But I do feel like that becomes the point of the trip, which is ok, but I get very little programming done on those days. As hard as it was for me to transition to WFH, now it's hard to imagine going back to 5 days.
