I don't mind collaborating, and indeed enjoy it. But don't force it upon me by an oppressive open office environment. I need quiet and an environment free from distraction and other people to really dig into my code and produce my best work.
Living in a constant state of interruptibility, observation, and distraction will not get good code out of me, and indeed many other devs. I, like many others, can make do, but why pay us so much money if you're going to put us in an environment guaranteed to make us produce sub-par code and products? Seems like a poor use of capital.

Jumping between different project setups, PM's, software designs, etc. is mentally taxing to an extreme. It leads me to make more mental mistakes. Rapid task switching is not conducive to quality, detailed work.
