some open offices are better than others (e.g. fb building 21 where u can see rows and rows of desks for eternity is super depressing) and maybe it is bc i am young and stupid and don't know better but i fail to see how the alternatives are better

yeah i think this is key! a good mix of shared space, meeting rooms, and lil pods where u can work without distractions or like, idk personally i hate when people can see what's on my screen https://twitter.com/clowbrow/status/1179543955215544320?s=20 …

i love the dynamics of different spatial divisions — unclear how i feel abt just 2 people in a room but e.g. our office does a good job i think of managing space/sightlines/noise w distribution of couch areas w desks, plant placement etchttps://twitter.com/PatrickHyatt/status/1179542635842822144?s=20 …

my personal take on cubicles is that they don't do much for privacy/noise isolation (i'd still want headphones) but now u can't see anything either. reminds me of one year when i had a roommate in a 2br who never really talked but was Always There....awfulhttps://twitter.com/radiocolin/status/1179544754138357765?s=20 …

refusing to debate me on this topic would be a sign of intellectual cowardice

I kinda enjoy ours but also: - we have quiet rooms you can work in instead - I'm typically not required to be in the office (aside from interviews and the rare in-person meeting) so I often work from home, which is a giant personal office.

oh, also, I have noise cancelling headphones, though I don't use them in the office as much my impression is that open offices can be quite good, you just need some amount of other stuff that companies often don't do
