I don't think its about working from home vs working in an office. It should be about 'do what works and results in the highest individual and business productivity'. At the very least, if one of your very good devs wants to work from home, give them an option and try it out. If they are comfortable working at the office, that's fine too.

Re: The End of the Working Week
#12I actually find it much easier to work at the office. I have a lot fewer distractions plus having a separate environment for your work and your home life I think is important. Having said that, my commute is only a 15 minute cycle and I actually enjoy that part of the day. I'd be interested to hear what other people feel and how they benefit from working from home.
I agree. But I do hate my commute (45 mins in the car!).

I prefer working in the office - normal commute is 20 minutes by train - the only problem at least in my office is no doors and i sit close to people who are in tele-sales , constant noise.
For thinking time, i have to get into a meeting room with my laptop - not ideal but still better than at home. I prefer the separation.
