This article kind of feels like people are working really hard to rationalize working from bed?

Personally I just find it extremely uncomfortable, and I just can't be productive that way. Plus you have to wonder what the long term effects are, it doesn't seem very ergonomic.

I never understood people who have no issue with typing on a laptop while sitting or laying in bed. Or outside on the grass. It just doesn't work for me.

I need a keyboard on a table and sit in a chair in front of it, or stand in front of it if it is height-adjustable.

I need space to put things nearby, like a glass of water, without having to care if it will fall and spill.

But I'm ok with having a tablet in bed to browse HN or Reddit or listen to something on YouTube until I fall asleep.

I've tried it once and it just didn't feel right. It didn't feel like I'm working, it felt more like staying in bed while sick. Also, my back started hurting after a few hours. I can't imagine someone doing it for more than a few days.
