I disagree. Most people don't make enough money to have on room they can dedicate to work. In germany where I live rent is so expensive that for a single person a 2 room apartment is the standard. You basically need 3 rooms which means you're paying significantly more rent unless you live in very rural areas.
- hibbelig 5y agoMy wfh environment is a desk in a corner of the bedroom, an enclosed area about 150cm x 150cm, with walls on two sides and shelves on the other two, with two little gaps for the light. It's awesome. It feels so comfy. It's got the lighting I like. My chair could be better, but it's okay. I can hide in there.
- brimble 5y agoBeating a corporate office, as far as the actual work space itself and if we're talking tech work, doesn't require much, is the thing. A small table with a monitor and keyboard and a pretty-good chair, tucked in a corner, is already better just by being private. Having an entire dedicated room—even a very small one—is wildly better than most tech offices, and is far beyond what you need to have a better working environment. Hell, the private bathroom alone makes even the working-from-a-coffee-table version competitive with typical tech offices.

A small office with e.g. two or three people that work together can work quite well IMO if the space is big enough and the people get the means to decide how to use it. Having three devs that work on the same thing in one room can be beneficial if they like each other.
