OK, let's see it this way:

Even for a 8-hour, 5 days/week job, the daily commute + wasted office time + coworker disruptions add up to 3-4 hours per day for most.

Thats years off of your life.

Adderal might be better after all.

You're double-counting "wasted office time" and "coworker interruptions", which leaves commuting. If your daily commute time is measured in hours, maybe you should live closer to work.

It's not like software developers are poor. Maybe if we were we wouldn't develop these prima donna attitudes.

Not really. Even if I had double-counted them, that would live both ONE of them AND commuting.

Working at home you have far fewer interruptions (mostly through IM and email) not BS meetings, people breaking your concentration and such.

Sure, but it's also not like they all work in the US, or have a > $30.000 annual salary.

"wasted office time + coworker disruptions"

These are part of the 8 hours of work and many might argue that interaction with coworkers is both healthy for the individual and a useful, productive part of your job.
