What you're describing sounds luxurious, but perhaps you mean just the basics, a corner in a room. Often when people say home office they mean a dedicated room, and that's not available to a lot of people. I've wanted a home office for years, as in a small dedicated room, but not lived in a home with enough free space. Right now I do have a setup like you've described due to pandemic lockdown - but it's right next to my bed. I don't like the commute, it's too short, and it's not much of a thinking space. It has not been realistic to work on my preferred non-software hobbies for a long time, as I need decent bench space, ventilation, and to be fair to the neighbours, no neighbours. But I like cities and people too much to want to live in the middle of nowhere. I'm a pacer in better times. I look at pictures of big spaces like the empty Apple building and just imagine walking around all day while doing my thinking occasionally stopping at a desk to break out the laptop. If they ever solve programming while walking I'll be excited to be at the head of the queue. Before the pandemic I tended to work in libraries and coffee shops, except when working with local clients on their projects, then I'd use their facilities. Interesting labs and workshops, I like those. I'm tentatively excited though. I just agreed to a real small office rental. Where I live these are surprisingly rare. I'm looking forward to doing my work, my hobbies and my finances there, instead of at home. I'm looking forward to a decent, private thinking space, where I can write on my own whiteboard. Living the dream! Maybe I'll even start writing to people.
