Teams, zoom, meet, etc all work fine on dogshit connections IME. If I have to transfer 1TB of data through my own laptop, I’ve catastrophically fucked up somewhere. As for noise and headphones: You get used to working with noise. > Every day we need comfy chairs, standing desk, a good keyboard a good monitor etc. I literally have not had these for my entire career, bar a short stint where I had a couple of monitors. Desk is “whatever fucking desk”, at office or at home. Same for chair. Keyboard? Nice to have but I do fine with whatever laptop keyboard so long as it works. It is entirely possible to work effectively without all the nice to haves, it just requires some motivation. For me, that’s earning a fat cheque.

> Teams, zoom, meet, etc all work fine on dogshit connections IME. In the sense we can talk, yes, they do a remarkably great job, but the real quality is very low, sufficient to work, but definitively not good, and that's one of the reason why so many dislike remote. > As for noise and headphones: You get used to working with noise. Again yes, of course your output will suffer as you... In the history humanity have passed through an incredible amount of sufferance and we are still here, but those who have had certain experiences have certainly not lived well. > I literally have not had these for my entire career [...] It is entirely possible to work effectively without all the nice to haves, it just requires some motivation. For me, that’s earning a fat cheque. Witch might perfectly meet your desire, but what you produce will be of a different quality, because your target is just earning as much as possible, not produce advancement for the τέχνη, not to evolve, and that's exactly why current capitalism couldn't be sustained and produce mostly garbage. We witness no more real revolutions, no more tangible advancement except in the human pasture techniques and business for business to the point that even the WEF advocate a great reset.
