Work from home is dead, long live work from anywhere

I can work remotely since years, I often did.<p>I work for a company with a few offices, none is less than 500 miles aways from where I live.<p>I will likely never go back to those office.<p>But I could not picture myself working &quot;on the road&quot;. I did it, it&#x27;s stressful and leads to less productivity on my side.<p>Have you try an intense and involve pair programing session from a &#x27;normal&#x27; coffee shop? It&#x27;s frustrating. Noises, and lack of secondary monitors make it so.<p>Pretty often, I would have a week or two where I work from somewhere else, but I secure the place in advance , the network connection, and try to work it out with my co-workers if it&#x27;s imply separate timezone. ( yay for daily stand up at 4AM ! )<p>I did work from a van from a few weeks. I was actually not working, mostly reacting. ( taking meeting, working on tickets as they are assigned to me... but never taking a deep breath and looking at how makes things better on the long run. )<p>Edit : my english is broken

<i>&gt; from a hotel</i><p>It always frustrated me that, prior to this whole shutdown, my workplace had a hard &quot;no work from home&quot; policy. But when I had to travel, they were perfectly fine with me working from my hotel room.

This article misses the fact that there are IP and HR legalities about where work is done. It&#x27;s not that companies are simply being mean, their hands are often tied on these matters.<p>Changing countries, or working abroad, can affect numerous things including taxes, employee rights, medical benefits, and ip assignments. Even working from different states can have tax implications.

My long term dream has been to live overseas with my wife for a couple of years. Preferably continental europe for travel opportunities. But, she has to work at an english-speaking hospital that will accept her credentials.<p>Other options are sabbaticals, early retirement, whatever. Not many complicating factors other than a house (can rent that out), and our cats.<p>We generally take 1-2 international vacations per year, so my middle-term dream it to tack on work remote to that. Fly to a country, rent an AirBnB, work remote for a week or two, have my wife join me, then do another couple weeks there as a vacation. So I can double my time away without burning through my PTO in no time flat.

Correct me if I&#x27;m wrong on this.<p>I&#x27;m under the impression that if I pay WeWork to be able to work at their tables and drink their coffee, that&#x27;s tax-deductible and a business expense. But if I buy drinks at a coffee shop to work there, it isn&#x27;t? [1]<p>This is something that doesn&#x27;t make a lot of sense to me, as coffee shops are sort of a classic place for a freelancer to find space away from home to focus better.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sapling.com&#x2F;40999&#x2F;6-surprising-tax-deductions-for-freelancers" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sapling.com&#x2F;40999&#x2F;6-surprising-tax-deductions-fo...</a>

WFA just needs a cute mascot.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;results?search_query=Kei+RV" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;results?search_query=Kei+RV</a><p>Without a portable office, WFA is a tough sell.<p>With it, it`s common sense.

&quot;But what about the taxes and legal issues?&quot;<p>There are a bunch of comments in here about that. And it&#x27;s true, it&#x27;s a huge pain in the ass. It&#x27;s why I always prefer to hire people in states I&#x27;m already operating, to say nothing of people outside the US.<p>But I also see improvements every year. My payroll provider takes care of more of these issues each year, and there are other startups coming up that help you take care of these things as well.<p>There are companies out there that will deal with everything for you. You pick the person you want and then that company &quot;hires&quot; them and then rents them back out to you, taking a small piece of their salary for their HR services.<p>If work from everywhere becomes pervasive, I suspect two things will happen. One, a bunch of companies will spring up to streamline the process, and two, the big companies with lobbying powers will lobby for tax code and IP law changes to streamline the process.

Pretty sure work from home always meant work from anywhere.

Working from home, and more importantly the increased likelihood of having a remote position in the future, has inspired me to eventually take on the life of a digital nomad.<p>I want to travel the United States seeing and living in as many places as possible. Unlike several people posting here I wouldn’t mind working out of coffee shops or with just a laptop.<p>I see opportunity for adventure while I am still young. I don’t mind the squalor of living out of my car and showering in gyms if it means I get to experience more from life.<p>What’s the catch? I have no idea what this lifestyle would actually bring. If anyone knows what it is like please share your experiences.

VR is approaching a threshold that I hope will make work-from-anywhere more practical for me. I&#x27;ve tried working on the road but never get near my home productivity. But if I could isolate by plopping on a headset that reproduces my home environment with umpteen floating screens it might work. I know just one dev that works inside of VR. With a bit more resolution and portability I&#x27;ll probably join him.

Who writes this shit? No one expects you to work from the hospital waiting room while your mother is in an ICU.

It seems the preference to work from home is pretty strong amongst software engineers. As a physician who was thrust into trying telemedicine, I couldn’t stand it. I would never voluntarily opt to do telemedicine. Besides delivering much worse care, I love being “in the office” with the camaraderie of being physically at work.

Did this when I was 19. Lived in my car and wrote code and got paid for it. That&#x27;s how I ended up in SV from the east coast. Amazing trip!

The last thing many managers want is a flourishing remote workforce because it highlights said managers&#x27; superfluousness.

&gt;My colleagues and I published a couple of different views on the future of “work from home” and remote work last Friday — a story that, if analytics is any sign, really struck a nerve with many of you.<p>This has become like Donald Trump or Tesla. Article after article that adds practically nothing on value because the headline drives clicks. This is just yet another &quot;Now we can do <i>anything</i> because I&#x27;m a tech journalist, not someone who has spent 10 seconds thinking about any of the implications of what I&#x27;m saying*.

Kinda sounds like the vision Adam Neumann had for WeWork.
