You enjoy your 3d/wk RTO, but please don't claim it's a perfect balance. To me more than 1 day a month is unacceptable at this point. Why would I want to go into downtown Seattle to do exactly what I could have done from my house deep out in the sticks of Kitsap County where rent is significantly lower for the space and it's nearly dead silent and - most importantly - I'm largely left tf alone? The only reason is social bonding with coworkers, so a day a month or so for that purpose seems sane, and worth the ferry ride over. More than that is incompetent management trying to own and control me and/or being ineffective at managing distributed/asynchronous teams, barring a few specific industries that require on-site development for some reason or another (embedded on highly-specialized hardware, perhaps).
