Ask HN: For those who can choose to go to the office, and go, why do you go?

With all the RTO talk, I haven't really seen the question asked:

If you work for a truly hybrid workplace, where you can choose to go to an office 0-7 days a week, and you do choose to go in, what reason drives you to do that?

Context: I was thinking about what the ideal office space for developers looks like these days. Back before COVID, common thought was the best places had private offices for every dev -- no one seemed to like cube farms.

But post COVID, it seems like there are two possibilities: that you like coming to the office to collaborate, or you come in because your home is not conducive to work for whatever reason.

If you're in group one, and want to collaborate, do you still want a private office, or do you prefer the bullpen cube farm?

I'm curious if I have a blind spot here. If you choose to go to the office, what is your ideal office setup in a post-pandemic world?
