Why is it good to make them sit in a quiet library as long as its a silent quiet library not of their choice? Cost of space is penny wise and pound foolish. If you're paying $200K all up with bennies vs the dev is generating maybe $1M of revenue, if a better working environment makes them 1% more productive or 1% less unproductive, that means it makes sense financially as long as it costs less than $1K/month for the extra space. Treating employees better than prisoners or factory farmed meat is more expensive, but not $1K/month/employee expensive. Its like "saving money" by giving employees flipped over 5 gallon buckets to sit on instead of chairs, or forcing them to use 00s decade laptops instead of new ones. Or an even better analogy is its like saving on labor costs by hiring the absolute bottom of the barrel instead of the top rockstars. If you thought you were saving money by providing an inadequate work environment, wait until you're saving money by hiring people who can't fizzbuzz or even helloworld. You'll really be rolling in the savings then.
