i don't get how people can do serious thinking without a quiet environment. i'm pretty happy in any quiet, calm office with natural or very good artificial light, but i struggle to think in loud spaces. i wonder how much people liking WFH is this without realizing it.

WFH worked well during covid because it's was an emergency, kinda skewed by our survival instinct. A loud space can stimulate thought (exceptions), we're social creatures, baptized by noise & discomfort. Traditional office work is outdated

it's not just about a quiet environment, it's having the space to be your best thinking self. most co-work groups suck at this.

With kids at home during the summer it’s really difficult. Honestly the walk-ups to the desk in the office were nice serendipity, but flow killers. Now when kids are at school can really jam. Even created Rust CLI to loop song files to get into the zone github.com/program247365/loo…

I hope the singularity can think in loud spaces and badly lit spaces as well

I need loud death metal in the background to be the most focused.

and I don't get how person with any degree of intelligence would somehow be perplexed at the fact that human beings ARE DIFFERENT in how they think, and read, and do work!! "I don't get how" unbelievable that you don't understand another person's own way of doing things
