I'm merely showing that there is life and work without an office, and better one much of the time.
Yes I prefer twin monitors, two black cats, zero interruptions and some ambient music most of the time. When I get in the other mood, I go sit at the pub. Or I take a walk and meditate on a problem. Or I take a 50 mile ride on a motorbike. Or I fire up the local equivalent of the Uber and give some rides to the people just for the talks. Or whatever else comes to mind.
Those are the choices I would never have had I made a mistake and got another job at the office.
Better for who? Everything you described as "better" doesn't sound that way to me at all. What makes your opinion objectively correct?
>Those are the choices I would never have had I made a mistake and got another job at the office.
Good for you! It honestly sounds like you'd be a pretty terrible person to work with in a team, remote or not.
To me the smell of alcohol would be awful? Or maybe I don't like noisy strangers? Or maybe I can't bring my comfortable chair and twin 30" monitors to a pub with me every day?
I think you've fallen pretty deep in the trap of thinking your experience and preference applies to everyone.
