I wish I could afford to change careers at the moment.

I'd love to create / work-for a company that builds out WFH office spaces. I.e., that specializes in all the success factors:

- workspace soundproofing* / acoustics

- HVAC

- networking

- electricity

- collaboration technology (esp. the ultimate prize for software developers: a viable replacement for in-person whiteboard collaboration, that's also compatible with corporate network security needs)

- ergonomic furniture

- features that help with mental health: natural light, sufficient artificial light, etc.

- "HOW-TO" guides for dealing with other residents. I.e., policies and/or tools to make it clear when the workers can be interrupted, etc.

- consulting with employers to make sure all of the above can work in harmony with the rest of the company

* I mean "soundproofing" in the colloquial sense, i.e. good-enough psycho-acoustic improvement.
