If you were considering 2 equal job offers, one that was 5 minutes away, and one that was an hour away, you'd take the farther offer?

You could always find a co-working space.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoWhere I live in a busy city these are also ubiquitous. But many people live in small towns where people have never heard of those. Just saying :)
- sarchertech 5y agoThe small town where I grew up in has one now. Also if you’re in a small town without a co-working space, there probably aren’t many software employers either. So you’re either working from home, commuting to an office, or commuting to a co-working space.
- julianlam 5y agoNo, I'm not insane, all things being equal of course I would take the closer job :) A co-working space was considered (and is still being considered), though we find our current strategy of 4 days wfh and one in-office day to be a good mix. Additional considerations involve the geographic make-up of our staff. This context, of course, wasn't in my original reply up above. My main point in my previous reply was to provide a counterpoint to the argument that a commute is completely wasted time, in specific situations, it can be very useful, and not wasted at all.
