I retired from programming because of that “open floor plan” shit, with the added bonus of no permanent desks. It’s so insane to inflict that bullshit on programmers in particular, because our productivity (or mine at least) requires a quiet, distraction-free environment.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t stand the sight of my coworkers any better than the sound of them.
