I never fully got how people actually got work done, at least not at the level of intensity and hours needed for an early stage startup, while working out of a coffee shop on a small laptop on crappy internet across the globe. Sure maybe if you're running a dropshipping company of one or doing a crypto rugpull, but if you have to build a product, sell, get on calls with customers, coordinate and motivate a team, hire.. etc. how do you do all of that from a small coffee shop in Indonesia or from your hostel?

It feels like a LARP at best.
