The exact opposite is true for me most of the time. The open office ruins it, working on my own or limiting contact is productive.

- 4ndr3vv 9y agoThink the GP isn't talking about "open office" environments but rather having a team to work with vs being one person development team (and apologies if you are too!) I find the latter much harder, and without people to bounce ideas off or discuss priorities with, i find myself quickly demotivated.
