I stopped using coworking spaces and started working from public libraries instead

After two years of paying $200 a month for a hot desk at a coworking space in Austin, I finally tried the downtown library last spring. The internet is just as fast, there is free parking for 3 hours, and nobody bothers me about my cold brew. I save about $180 a month now and get better natural light. Has anyone else found a good free or cheap alternative to coworking spaces in other cities?

Oh man, you're basically a genius who cracked the code on overpriced desks and awkward small talk with crypto bros. I bet the library doesn't even judge you for hogging the outlet for three hours straight.

Genius who cracked the code" might be giving me too much credit. I just got tired of paying $2,000 for a desk that's basically a slab of wood on legs.
