I have been working remote for 4 years, both full-time at two different companies. I also do not like the experience.
My issues stem from working at non-remote-first companies and my personality. Being one of the few people that is remote, I will have no visibility. My pull requests will linger, no room for advancement, no learning from others. And as an incredibly social person, I find the isolation to be too much. I also detest people that work from cafes. They are not offices!
Why would you detest people that work from cafes just because you don't like it? For me working remotely full time, it's a good break from working from a home office all the time. Coworking spaces are few and far between where I live so it's really one of the only alternatives.
