What works for them may not work for you, that's why it's their workspaces, who are you to judge them for how they like to work? If you want to compare, submit your own workspace then.

I didn’t read any judgement in the parent comment. It just states that those setups wouldn’t work for them.

  “I need a place to work, not a staged photograph from an IKEA catalog.” Not sure how that isn’t judgement… but parent comment is more than welcome to share their space with the community so we can get a more diverse catalog of how people work. :)

    That quote is a personal opinion of the commenter and holds no judgement against those people who prefer to have workspaces that look like “staged photograph from an IKEA catalog”.

  “Absolutely dreadful” is 100% a judgement.

      Sorry, but if you ask anyone on the street if you are judging them after calling them or their possessions or their lifestyle "absolutely dreadful," they will absolutely say you are judging them and moreover are deliberately insulting them. Perhaps you don't see it yourself but it is absolutely how it comes across to others.

> who are you to judge them for how they like to work Generally speaking, publishing a deliberate, intricately staged (like a doll's tea party), museum exhibit-like workspace, which looks more like a Jony Ive wet dream rather than where actual humans produce, in a public venue, is a tacit invitation to criticism. This attitude is how we ended up with things like the MacBook butterfly keyboard.

  It's interesting that you're assuming all these workspaces are staged and not how they actually work, with maybe a bit more cleanup like today's lunch bowl not on the desk, or water bottle / coffee cup and a few papers. I know many people who are neat freaks and these "staged" workspaces are exactly how their lives are daily.
