What about getting rid of the cancer called open office? it's loud, distractive, sometimes smelly and only serves to make sure unneeded middle managers feel like they have power.
I'd say open office for a small team of 4-6 is ok, but any large floor plans filled with cubicles need to die already.
Silicon valley, as one might surmise from its name, is in fact a valley, not on the coast. It averages 4 degrees C in the winter. They might as well have efficient heating, especially given most offices were designed before heat pumps really proliferated in the US.

Went trying to determine that as well, and I found this article about CES in January. Looks better than the pic above, so good possibility it’s real

You get to pretend you're Luke in the Empire Strikes Back medical tube!
I was always like "damn, would be nice to just take a week in the floaty hair gel tube chilling"

damn, that's the average we have in late may. that's the point where the sun does enough heating that you have to start opening windows here.

A comfortable chair or sleeping pod?
If they wanted their workers to be comfortable, they wouldn't make them whisper to an LLM all day.

If you want me to talk to my computer, give me an enclosed office. (I'll still type, instead, but would appreciate the privacy)
