PSA: I miss when remote work was just a laptop and a prayer
Seriously, all this talk about perfect home offices makes me laugh. Back in the early 2000s, working from home meant using whatever computer you had on the kitchen table and hoping the internet didn't cut out. I helped a friend who did her entire job from a folding chair in her living room. Now, it feels like you need a whole room with special gear just to send an email. We've turned flexibility into a big production to look good on video calls. I think we lost the point of remote work. Give me the old, messy days any time.
