Even if your daily commute was a 15 min walk each way, that's half an hour per day, or 10 hours per month.
I'm guessing the median employed HN reader values their time at over $45/hour. If so, that saved time is worth $450/month.
$450/month is enough to pay for:
- 2 separate internet connections costing $100/month each (more than enough in most US cities, even those with little competition like SF)
- a new office chair every year ($1200, or $100/month)
- $100/month towards electricity
- a new webcam, mic and arm every year ($600, or $50/month)
