Coworking passes were a scam to me until Bali broke me

I spent 2 years working from hostels and cafes thinking coworking spaces were just overpriced Insta traps. Then I landed in Canggu where the wifi at my guesthouse capped at 5 Mbps and the coffee shop next door had a 1 drink per hour rule. After 3 days of Zoom calls dropping every 20 minutes I caved and paid $150 for a month pass at Dojo Bali. Turns out the desk was solid, the internet actually hit 50 Mbps, and I got more work done in one week than the previous month combined. What finally sold me was the backup generator during a 4 hour blackout while everyone else panicked. So yeah, I was wrong. Anyone else think these places are pointless until you hit a real dead zone?

Right? The backup generator part is what gets me. You don't realize how much you need that safety net until you're literally watching your income disappear during a powercut. Those places feel like a waste until you actually see what bad wifi does to your workday.

Is it really that bad without one?
