I've been working mostly remotely for the last 10 years, I think if I remember correctly the only jobs I had an office at that I had to be physically present at were my very first job that I got immediately when I started attending university (held it for two years), and then half a year as a research assistant at the same university to bridge the gap between my 2nd job (that was already fully remote, as a research assistant) and my 4th job when I got my bachelor's degree.
All others have been remote (with a few days/year spent at the office at most). I like to think that I'm more productive at home because there the way I show my work is to actually produce visible results instead of being at a certain place for a certain amount of time. It's IMHO way easier to goof off at the office.
