So we complained about open offices back in the day, but compared to isolation, most people end up going back to a big open space with humans talking? :)

- big_youth 8y agoWe still complain about open offices, the GP even said he has to use noise cancelling headphones. He likes the coworking space because he is lonely and want's a social aspect in his office space.
- tracker1 8y agoAgreed, I think there are benefits to either or both... I prefer to have people around, but use noise cancelling headphones when head-down coding (so to speak) and don't want interruptions. I prefer to work in an office, because for me it isn't even family at home, it's just too easy to distract myself and be away from my desk at home.
- beatgammit 8y agoAll one or the other is bad. When you work at home, you can choose when you go to the office vs staying at home. I have kids, so working at home has some downsides, so I've actually been considering renting office space (or a co-working space) to have a couple days where I'm not around my family to get serious work done. I wouldn't go there every day, just; 3 days/week at most.
