Interesting article about alternative living, I understand why you would do this for fun, but obviously the risk vs. reward calculation makes no sense.

The convenience of a place with electricity, running water, a table and chair, you are legally allowed to sleep there, etc. Seems easily worth 450 Dollars a month. In the end he says he saved 2k, but that is not a relevant amount of money to save over months if you become a software developer in America.

Convenience is not the only possible reward, and the post touches on this.

I've stayed in many inconvenient places and the immediate benefit is often that it forces you to go out of your way to find good places to work from, to get food, entertainment, etc.
