Can you explain why you don't think you would be productive outside?

  Well I guess for a lot of people it would be self-explanatory, but if I go outside to a park, or to a coffee-shop, or whatever - I go there to enjoy myself, not work. Apart from that, I would not really have the ergonomic benefits of my controlled working environment, not to mention bugs, people walking by, random noise or whatever it is.

    I suspect that's a personal bias. If you go to most any cafe (at least in the US) there will be a half dozen people there typing away at their laptops. This is even more common with the rise of remote work where people will (for better or worse) commandeer cafes as their personal office.

      Well of course its a personal bias - I never claimed no one else could work like that, just myself ;) I am aware of all the folks typing it out in the coffee-shops. Just that I could never be productive in that setting. Answer some e-mails - perhaps, but not really do any (meaningful) programming work as such.

    i go outside to get sun. grab a set on a ledge somewhere and think. that works for work, if the thinking is about work. major benefit is that none of the people walking by are going to try disrupt what thing youre working on to be different work

    Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for explaining. I'm not sure if I could work in public like this but I am interested to find out.
