Setting Alexey's personal working style and focus aside, what are people's thoughts on virtual co-working in general?
Seems like there is a huge portion of people that have long since discovered that cities are not for them, but still yearn for some kind of group form of working.
There's been attempts as far as 2008 in Second Life[1], but also others in platforms such as discord, slack, minecraft. One popular zoom-based community for this is called Weekend Club [2]
I have personally found that whenever I pair with someone and I'm explaining to them my thought process as I'm programming, my productivity and focus goes through the roof. If my work were open source, I would just stream it on twitch. I might just do that for my side-projects though. But I wish I could have a buddy that just sits with me. We don't even have to talk all the time, just having someone there flips a switch for me.

Is this the future?
