There’s a conflict of interest. It is reasonable to assume that any DNs budgeting will pivot around being able to have a “free” place to work at.

The coworking spaces pitched in the article charge north of $500 a month for a simple chair to sit on. some get more expensive if you only want to stay for a few weeks.

That makes it easy to go for the free option and just squat a spot at a cafe.

I feel bad for the good guys who behave respectfully and know when they’ve overstayed their welcome. But for those that don’t Cafe owners need to disincentivize the behavior.

I’m online >12h/day and I work on all devices available while awake. Still, I personally would prefer a cafe that has a strict “no notebooks” & “phone calls and meetings outside” policy.
