This guy was commuting three hours per day?! Yeah, no wonder his quality of life improved after he stopped doing that. Unfortunately, I don’t think his experience is going to be very generalizable because most people don’t have a commute length that extreme.

I have a personal theory that a lot of complaints about working in-person go away when you remove very long commutes, in particular by car.

A bit like how most complaints about pull requests go away if you make it a priority to get them done as fast as possible.

My personal theory is that a lot of advocacy for working in-person goes away when you remove:

  1. People that financially benefit from office culture (office land lords, restaurants near office buildings, janitorial services, etc.)
  2. Social vampires that view the office as the best place to gossip and share their boring personal lives with a captive audience
  3. Managers and executives with poor leadership skills and low self esteem
