I read maybe two or three of these articles here on HN, and I am totally convinced that this is true, but my boss is not reading HN and has a different opinion. A shared office is also cheaper for him, so I need more than forwarding a link to an article to convince him. I would love to hear more about how people actually changed their situation, other than the obvious way of looking for another job.
