For me, work environment makes a huge difference.
I work like crap in cubicle farms and typical corporate offices. I feel like I'm on display.
I work best in a private office, with a door that closes, a window that looks out on nature, and a very large whiteboard. Ideally, I'd like my team members have similar ones.
Home is in between.
I can work much longer hours if I can:
- do basic basic bodily functions (stretching, eating, drinking, scratching, a short power nap, etc.)
- change work positions (e.g. lie down with a laptop)
- make noise (phone calls, music, etc.)
- have my papers and books spread out as I see fit
... and so on.
I have never seen a tech firm where I was comfortable in the office, and it's especially hard in places like SFO/BOS/NYC/etc. where square feet cost so much.
My past few jobs weren't with tech firms, and I really enjoyed working in proper offices.
