It's realizations like this that drove me to working from home 10 years ago.

I get to do the geeky work I love, eat lunch with my wife and kids, and my commute is a flight of stairs.

I don't think I could ever go back into an office.

that still seems like a climate controlled cube, just... maybe bigger?

Did you miss the part of the article where he describes his LLV (mail delivery vehicle) as an 'oven' in the summer.

I'll stick to my bigger climate controlled cube filled with my loved ones.

The Earth itself is a climate controlled geoid, although the climate control systems may not remain operational for long.

It will remain functional, although its parameters are changing.
