    It's true and needed to be said. Thanks to the youtube algorithm, I 've done nothing but watch home office setups over the past few days. No one says it explicitly, but there's always the undercurrent that this is what you need to be productive and it's just bullshit. What' is being sold is the idea that if you BUY this and this and this, you will be able to achieve what you want, when achieving what you want has little to do with all the fancy setups on display. Obviously, those setups are nice to look at and that's tje reason I am watching those videos.

    I really liked the fact that you started off by saying all of this is not important for software dev. That is very imp to be said and I think it should be like a template for anyone giving us their desk tour. Because ultimately 99% people watching might not have such a luxury, and it does instigate self doubt subconsciously that man, I can't have that.

Last but not least, the philosophy and reasoning behind why you selected everything. Great job and style!

    It's not the workspace, but the work that makes you want to leave or stay. 1. A good workspace + crappy work (incompatible with you)= hours of sitting there procrastinating never getting anything done. 2. A good workspace + good work = hours of sitting there being productive, maybe more than you actually need to be 3. An average workspace + crappy work = hours of being elsewhere procrastinating. 4. A average workspace + good work = sitting there for the optimal amount of time, getting it done and moving on elsewhere. Personally, I prefer #4 above. These workspace setup videos are just eye candy. Although this one seems like much sweeter candy
