Once upon a time it was normal to adjust the location of the desk to the person working there. If lefthander, place table towards the left wall with light coming from window on the right. If righthander, place to the right of window. The typewriter was placed on a small table in front of the window.

When the computer showed up, it was first placed in the corner toward the window or in front of the window but the later location proved hard on the eyes so we stopped with that.

What has changed now that we stopped with this practice? I thougt we would have the office layout perfected by now?

Not being a part of a hive mind unfortunately I did not have this wisdom inbuilt and apparently neither did the people designing my house with the window facing the sun that my home office lives in.

I could rotate the layout 90 degrees and only have sun glare half of the day but it's just easier to either close the curtain a bit or crank the brightness
