I've clawed back 1.5 hours a day and save roughly $100 a week on commuting costs. As for challenges, I've had much more friction when needing to access work resources remotely. A pet peeve of mine is the lag when needing to access VMs on prem. I know, I know, a first world problem. But if you had to debug and sift through logs as much as I have to, you'd rage too. :)
I am also mildly stressed because this is not a permanent arrangement and it can change at a moments notice.
This might not be feasible for you, but Visual Studio Code supports remote development. It more or less runs the GUI on your local PC and runs all the language services, debuggers, etc on the remote machine. That doesn't eliminate lag, but it certainly can improve it.
thanks for the tip! Yes i use the remote development features of my IDE or work out of a terminal - when I learned about this it changed my world. Input lag still blows but is much better. I, unfortunately, sometimes have to look at dashboards and navigate them. In those instances I port forward so the UI elements are loaded locally by my machine, and the only lag is server response time. But keeping track of all ports i've forwarded, plus makng sure the tunnels don't die - these things are like pebbles in your shoe.
