I used to go to some real elaborate wework socials and cocktail hours. It was catered to engineers to then brag to their company about it.

But then I checked the pricing and it’s like $300 a month for… A private desk? $200 for a shared desk? And the primary perk was unlimited coffee?

A bunch of really small startups would use it. But that was about it.

Pandemic and wfh really highlighted how expensive it was for not much. And honestly I was fine alternating between libraries and coffee shops.
