I think this is really silly. How is living uncomfortably in a car make you relentlessly resourceful? It seems entirely counter productive. You won't get good rest and even have a decent work environment. Half the fun of creating a start-up is not having to go to an office every day in peak hour traffic.
Right now I'm sitting outside in my backyard working away. It's a beautiful quite day and I have already achieved heaps. If you already have a nice apartment then you're better off working from there.

As for working, most of my time will be spent in coworking spaces. Spending 16 hours a day in a workspace won't hurt my productivity.
- apsurd 15y agoI tried looking for your resume after reading this comment (I downvoted you). If you think working 16 hours a day makes you more productive, I'd have to imagine you are not an experienced developer.
- AndyKelley 15y agoIf he works 16 hours a day, gets enough exercise, and gets enough sleep, he will likely be extremely productive. Having not much place else to go but his working space will encourage that. Not everyone has the same cookie-cutter brain that you imagine.
- untog 15y agoNo, but a lot of people seem to work on the basis that "more is more". While it's possible that this guy is uber-productive in 16 hour blocks, it's unlikely. It's a recipe to burn out.
