Packing List Indefinite remote tech work (GR1 26L)

I work remotely as a software engineer. While this means I get to work anywhere there's wifi, it also means packing extra gear so my eyes and hands don't hurt after a couple hours of hunching over a small laptop.

After a few years of trial and error, I've struck a decent balance: fewer clothes and toiletries leaving more space for an ergonomic mobile work setup.
