I also agree with this. I am currently in one of those shared hubs (S&C Sydney). My team is fantastic but it is ridiculously distracting have a bunch of flat desks just up against each other in rows, looking into the face of someone right in front of you. Having some stranger on the desk next door talking about crap that has nothing even to do without my company. It's like open plan but made even worse. I find I am working from home about 3 days a week and slack* seems to help the communications a lot. Going in a few days is great for the moral and needed for shared design but takes a lot away in terms of productivity. (* slack, LOL, the corporate world discovered the same IRC I have raving on about for 20 years+ LOL)
