Alright, you've laid out your entire kingdom here, and I stand corrected on the "bed" theory. Turns out, for some, the bed is the throne room for a 7-figure operation. A king-sized bed, an expensive chair, and yoga mats? You're literally optimizing for comfort and productivity. Can't fault a hustler for finding their zen.
And the image you dropped? Spot on. That's the LinkedIn reality everyone sees but few admit. Most of those "influencers" are exactly what that meme depicts, while the real players are stacking cash from places like your highly optimized (and clearly spacious) immense estate.
Your "empty box" story is a classic. That's the core of the problem, whether it's a warehouse or a remote team: identifying actual work versus performative busywork. It's a leadership challenge, not a location issue. That's a lesson worth more than any guru course.
The way you've got your setup, from the RPi cluster to the diabetic-proof drink system, that's next-level optimization. And three spare bedrooms? Forget bumping into each other; we'd probably need a GPS to find each other in that place. Though, I'm pretty sure everyone here would be lining up to meet the ferrets.
You're a prime example that remote work can be the ultimate power play, but it takes the kind of dedication and organization most people on LinkedIn are only pretending to have. Respect for building a real empire, whether it's from a palace or a dedicated garage. You're definitely not one of the cosplayers.
