How is this in any way, shape, or form a promotion of the arts and sciences anymore? Well, if the book is still in production the author will get the royalties. Though if it were s…

disagree

but everyone else has cleaner air to breathe

I am extremely wary about the discourse around "late stage capitalism" but you are absolutely correct about lowering thresholds. I think that is the core of what I was trying to ex…

Thank you, but I didn't even say I prefer it, I definitely prefer working from home. I tried to say that it has been harmful over the last 12 years.

Yes.

Yes.

This is the kind of thinking that makes hn the best place on the internet. It is a shame that it is not the most upvoted.

I prefer WFO. I just think it has hurt me physically and mentally over the last 12 years.

Oh I get it, I was an early adopter and advocate for working from home. Hell, it was my job to write code to help tens of thousands of people work from home when the pandemic start…

Meditation is impossible when navigating the stress of traffic. Driving isn't exercise. I was referring to riding public transportation, then walking through the city to the office…

I'm not paying anyone to do anything, please don't tell me to fuck off for expressing my personal experience.

I didn't use the internet until 93, and didn't own a modem until Christmas of 94. I'm part of eternal September, but I always identified with the elders of the internet.

The company I work for has an amazing office with free food and beer that is a 30 minute commute in heavy traffic. The allure of sleeping in keeps me home.

Because I have got very used to using my own toilet whenever I need to.

This is more than a fair response, and I apologize for using the term, because I really daydream about going on an extended backpacking trip with money in the bank, or living in a …

I am very jealous of you.

Bullshit. If the company stops renting office space to save money, or hires you to a team that lives far away, you are forced to work from home.

I'm not sure if I actually believe in the intro/extro-vert dichotomy, so I normally try to stay away from the topic, but you have captured my gut feeling here.

Commutes can also be forced meditation, exercise, and exposure to sunlight and fresh air. If you don't naturally prioritize those things, the impact of missing them will sneak up o…

I remember feeling exactly the same way. When I got offered a work from home job in august of 2014 it felt like a magic portal into a dream life I always wanted, and it was for the…

Ehh, I don't know if those examples really apply, even if they effectively have a similar outcome. Incentives for environmentally friendly tech are more about helping those industr…
