>>> Anyone technical despises being interrupted when working. >>> This is why Hipchat/Slack/irc is the best way to communicate, even when sitting right next to eachother. I probably fall into this category (actually, for a lot of "serious" things I prefer e-mail to Slack/Hipchat/whatever), but I'm not at all sure this applies to "anyone technical": there does seem to be another culture of technical folks who genuinely do thrive on open offices or "team spaces" and lots of discussion. I don't think there's any environment that will keep everyone happy. I wonder if we'll eventually see people sorting into distinct introvert-oriented and extrovert-oriented organisations?
