    This is hilariously true. But here's my social organization bug question. I have yet to meet a developer who *likes* open plan offices, and software folks have a lot of leverage these days. What stops them from collectively demanding doors and quiet?https://twitter.com/HomoCarnula/status/939092145323102208 …

        Why can't software folks who routinely draw six figure salaries and often have competitive offers get their act together and prevail upon these "decision-makers"? That's the social bug.https://twitter.com/andrewjwant/status/949337104961691650 …

        the people who make the decisions about whether open-plan is a benefit don't understand the magnitude of the negative impact on those who feel it, and any dissent is labelled as "change aversion" and dismissed

        Yep. Kind of interesting that such a large number of smart folk with significant power don't recognize this. They don't *have to* allow themselves to be stuffed into a non-productive and widely-hated configuration. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://twitter.com/LennyLiebmann/status/949337899383885824 …

        It would not always work, but just this would probably work in many companies. Team gets together, organizes a response...https://twitter.com/soumya0985/status/949338729033838592 …

        Sometimes we prevail. Our team told our managers we would quit at the first opportunity if they went to an open-plan, and the plan was shelved for good.

        If it is one person, probably. If it is 90% of the developer team, it is their problem. https://twitter.com/JimYoull/status/949339506099945473 …

        I very much enjoy working in coffee shops with the hustle, bustle, inane conversations, and noise. But I think I would feel differently if that coffee shop was made up of my co-workers, people who have opinions on my work, and people who decide my employment future.

        It's not only developers. I work in admin right now, and some days I am very close to flipping because of the general noise and talking and... Existing of other people too close to my work space :/
