I'd much prefer to work alone and in silence than in an open office, or cube, or commute...

I can focus on what I'm doing when I'm alone. It's definitely preferable when writing things like code or copy, which is majorly stressful if other people are in the room.

If I feel like chatting, I can go to the cafe, talk to a neighbor. Even meeting the same UPS guy every day is kind of nice and makes me feel like my home is part of a regular community.

It feels much more natural than spending a good portion of my day on the freeway or in an office and just using my home for a place to sleep.
