I do know a few devs who prefer 5 days in the office. But they're absolutely the minority.

Personally, I try to go once a week, but I usually don't because I dread having a day with 50% my normal productivity.

It's just so noisy all the time in there. Open space and really high ceilings for "collaboration"...

    Yeah and for that minority, they could still go into the office 5 days a week.

    My previous boss that found family members too distracting at home so he came in 5 days. But he was cool and told us "yeah don't worry about coming in the days HR is telling you to, I come in every day and hardly anybody is here any way. " Oddly enough, most of the time we actually did come in on the days HR said because we didn't want to get him into trouble for it.

    It's almost like if the bosses aren't complete assholes, people will actually want to come into the office more.
