I work from home as an ATG (www.atg.com) Architect. At the moment there is a ton of demand, which lets me do things like work from home. I work on side projects and startups as much as time permits.
I love working from home. My stress level has dropped immeasurably since I left the office buildings of AT&T. No commute, no politics, no spending 5 hours/day trapped in a small conference room. My happiness, health, and waistline have all benefited from the change. Granted some folks can't work effectively from home, but I've found that since I generally really love what I do, it's easy for me to be productive without oversight.
