Jonathan Hitzhusen worked from home “before it was cool.”

Before the COVID-19 pandemic forced almost anyone who worked from a computer to turn their kitchen table into a desk, or to make a home office out of their living room, Hitzhusen worked in tech sales from a desk in the corner of his bedroom.

It was 2019, he said; he had four kids, three bedrooms and was losing his mind.

Hitzhusen cashed in a month of paid leave and built an office in his backyard. It was, essentially, a fancy shed — a detached structure, but not so big or well-equipped that it required any extra permitting.
