This is why one of the possible futures is houses where people live and work. Not uncommon in the SV even today, to my understanding. The only problem in that case is the boss :)

Ugh, lots of more problems. Now the company prescribes what you can do or not do at home. Quit your job? Well, you lose your home as well.

  Still it can work well for early stage startups and provided that they won't hire those who have children. They don't anyway (it's a discrimination, a big topic, but a different story here). Quit your job? Move on to the next one, you will have some buffer time.

    As a father, I find that kind of brushing off the needs of people with family decidedly distasteful.

      As a father of 3 I even wrote an article about ageism in this industry and especially the so called startup culture. Why are you downvoting me?

That place should be relaxing and should feel like home, because it is. Keeping different levels of authority separated in different houses would be mandatory. Additionally workers living in the same house shouldn't be working on the same project[0] , even if that sounds counter-intuitive. The reason is that it diminishes possible conflicts, because in the case of unsolved argument, there is nowhere you can go, and humans can't always solve them. [0]: but should certainly work in the same field.
