This thread reminded me of a The Oatmeal comic I saw not too long ago.
This explains the *good* and *horrible* about working from home.

I teleworked for a few years back in the '90s. I would share a couple
of thoughts:

be the kind of person who sits down at a computer and writes code,
just because. If it would "require discipline" for you to work from a

Much easier to pull off in a remote, mostly empty office building.
And no one complains about my singing off key.

I have to say I am impressed.
Yes, it is easier (I think) if you have the space to dedicate a work room. My
game system is in my computer room but I only game twice a week and only with
my friends. I have no doubt I might be diagnosed with a little OCD (or
something) but

For whatever it's worth:
I have been working from home for the last 3.5 years. I live in
Manhattan in a one-bedroom with a 4 year and now a 2 months old
daughter, meaning
I can not agree with this more. I have been working from home for two years
now and unfortunately live in a small apartment where I do not have a dedicated
space to assign for "work". My "workstation" is also my gaming machine and my

What the heck...
I've been working on a project for the last three years at home and
mostly by myself. It has been one of the more productive times of my
life codingwise precisely because I am at home and can juggle life's

Maybe I have a different personality, but I find it much easier to work
from home (provided home is empty). I think "networking" from home, which
I do periodically during the week is different from coding from home which
I do on the weekends. It does take some getting used to. I find I'm much
