I totally agree, I've never been more productive than at home/beach/forest etc. where I wasn't constantly distracted by other people. Always wondered how people get anything done when I am at crammed offices of Google or Facebook - the noise/distraction level there is just off-putting and in stark contrast to what I would call a productive environment :-/ Microsoft used to have rooms with 4-6 people, SUN used to have single mini-offices for everyone; now that is long gone in the name of cost-optimization and "sharing ideas".

- bitL 9y agoYeah. I always had to use earplugs and that gets tiring pretty fast :-( Not to mention commute, which is such a waste of time. I solved it partially by buying Novation Circuit and making music on a subway train while on my way to/from work...
