Best workplace for creative work like programming is a room for yourself.
The shared office concept was a mistake inspired by assembly lines. Sharing space with coworkers is good in factories because work is often dull and workers can talk to each other.
For creative work, it's nothing but a hindrance.
- aisofteng 10y agoI work in a team and find it very useful to easily speak with a coworker when necessary. The increased degree of communication has a very positive impact for me. And I don't feel the need to shit on factory work, which I have never done and suspect you never have, when discussing it.
- cel1ne 10y agoBe your preference as it may, I certainly did not "shit on factory work" when I said that assembly lines aren't creative endeavours. My knowledge about this comes from a befriended work-psychologist who worked with both, offices and factories, since the 70ies.
- licebmi__at 10y agoI feel that this is more an issue about bad managment. When your managers are bad to create good communication between teams, sharing the same workspace is a pretty neat workaround that can save a project.
