I never drive to work more than 15min. When I started my internship, I rent somewhere close to my internship place. Same goes for when I started my 1st job, about 10min using bike. Then I jumped to my 2nd job, few months after starting my 2nd job I move out and rent somewhere very close, 5min drive by car. I can even walk to work. Now I'm managing my own company, I bought an office close to my house, and set a rule of flexible working time and space. My staff can work anytime and anywhere they want, as long as they get the job done. My server can be accessed everywhere, as long as u have internet.

Its 2023, people need to adapt. Why waste time commute?
