> The Bay Area and its relatively fantastic weather would be fully realized as a perk to tech workers.

I built a Linux box with an rpi3 I had lying around and a boox max3 I got. So far working out doors:

+ Insects: you have no idea how many seem to come out of no where just to annoy you.

+ Sun: you need sun screen even on overcast days. I look like an overripe tomato.

+ Rain: when you least expect it one tiny cloud will go past and drop enough rain to soak you and any exposed electronics.

+ Children: loud and obnoxious, seem to be everywhere at any time.

+ Homeless: turns out they really like parks and assume you're one of them if you're there for more than 30 minutes.

There's probably more but those are the things I had to deal with yesterday. Today I just sat on my balcony instead. Sunlight is nice, but there's a reason why people have been building shelters for millennia.
