Maybe, but working fewer hours and taking breaks is probably more important. Sitting down for hours at a time while being stressed and tired is bad no matter the perfect battle station, ya know?

Maybe I'm thinking of a somewhat utopian scenario, but I'd take a laptop plus a nice house in a nice environment over most office rooms any day.

And I think it's really important not to overwork. To the point where I'd optimize everything around it. If the software I'm making requires me to be at a computer coding or fixing bugs for eight hours every day, I'd consider that a problem to be fixed immediately.

But that's a much larger issue!

Anyway, different strokes, and it's great to have someplace to sit, but even if you give me a private office I'll probably migrate towards the kitchen table if only to have better coffee access—or go outside.
