> It was quiet, nice food and much socializing towards the evening. What's not to like?
To me the smell of alcohol would be awful? Or maybe I don't like noisy strangers? Or maybe I can't bring my comfortable chair and twin 30" monitors to a pub with me every day?
I think you've fallen pretty deep in the trap of thinking your experience and preference applies to everyone.
I'm merely showing that there is life and work without an office, and better one much of the time.
Yes I prefer twin monitors, two black cats, zero interruptions and some ambient music most of the time. When I get in the other mood, I go sit at the pub. Or I take a walk and meditate on a problem. Or I take a 50 mile ride on a motorbike. Or I fire up the local equivalent of the Uber and give some rides to the people just for the talks. Or whatever else comes to mind.
Those are the choices I would never have had I made a mistake and got another job at the office.
