I didn't mind taking a train to a wework recently. I have a much better connection and overall set up at home, but when I set up similarly as I would at a coffee shop with an ergo keyboard, headphones, etc.. sometimes I'd just like the deliberate act of separating my home space from work. Every day is too much though.
For context, I live with my partner in a 400sq ft studio, and sometimes that's just not at all productive for me, I have to find a place to isolate, and sometimes I'd prefer that to not be a coffee shop. However, if it ended up that going in to work meant more interaction, or sitting
in a grey hellscape for 8 hours, it would kill that whole value prop for me. I want to just have the space to completely focus and not be depressed about my surroundings.
Taken to a logical extreme, if being a programmer meant that I'd be exclusively working in a grey cube farm, or a static open office, I'd try much harder to find a different profession.
