Earlier quoted context omitted.

these are all real setups from real people working in tech

They're staged, though. None of them are authentic. I scrolled through 8 pages, and I couldn't find a single one that was even just a little messy.

faked and staged are a bit different

This is cool but it just promotes the Kinfolkification of the home. And they all look the same / nothing like how me or my colleagues's home setups look. This looks very...... youtube and #aesthetic. Which is fine and there's clearly a market for, but it should include ALL workspaces not just Creatives one which is shorthand for like "Cool guy Creators / streamers / people with Instagrams"

Oh my god you people can't enjoy anything. It's just cool workspace inspiration and a place for people to share their setups, can't we just take it for what it is?

> Kinfolkification Pardon my ignorance, but what is this referring to?

Pretty sure he meant that as a synonym for "samey" - as in they're all of the same archetype of "clean setup" More about a display case / something meant to look like a workplace vs actually being one.

Guess I'm the only dude with his home gym in the same room as his work desk? In the Claude Code era it's an absolute gamechanger.

DAMN it's me and dude who got got by the CFPB for, everyone say it with me, telling everyone that they could get rich if they bought his magic beans! I'm way nicer than him; I don't defraud anyone!!

I enjoy some battlestation pics, but this feels like an oddly uniform collection that makes me feel like I'm looking at a stock art catalog. I'm not sure if it's a narrow demographic being interviewed, the photos themselves, the presentation, or what. It's kind of eerie.

Not one creator's workspace is a messy hoard? This is an idealic, oh crap we better clean up before the photographer arrives, fantasy.

Here are a few non-staged setups: https://workspaces.xyz/p/70-alex-wilhelm https://workspaces.xyz/p/296-alex-nicolai https://workspaces.xyz/p/337-jason-levin

This[0] is my personal favorite that was posted on a battlestations page. If it is staged, I think the author is pandering more to the Buffalo Bill demographic rather than tech nerds.

To me these work spaces look so sanitised/artificial, bordering on being sterile.

Lot of people I know have all sorts of clutter in their workspace. A sticker from here and badge from a conference, a poster, books and notebooks lying around the table. The cluttered chaotic looking workspace has its own aesthetic, indicating a rich experience for the senses and the worker. Things where they should be for their functional aspects not only aesthetic one.

Or this one as an example of a YouTube programming creator who uses a teleprompter i think quite cleverly as a way to have his eyes centered on the camera/webcam https://youtu.be/IG-H5poJMvY
