The crazy part to me is working in an office where 50 people are simultaneously saying code out loud.
Or my wife ready to kill me as I'm saying code while she's watching tv. :)
- falcolas 9y agoRather than my usual tirade against open offices, I would point out that options for subvocal voice pickups exist like throat mikes. You could speak softly enough your neighbor couldn't hear you, and they also attenuate external sounds quite well.
- jcadam 9y agoSo basically you'll be trying to think above a constant, low-level din of unintelligible murmuring. Not unlike having a brown noise generator in your office. That would drive me insane.
- falcolas 9y agoWell, when I say "your neighbor can not hear you", I mean that literally. Not mumbling, just talking at a sub-audible volume. And, IMO, even mumbling would be better than the current open office constant flow of loud conversations (one of which I'm trying to drown out with headphones this very moment).
