The personal website in your profile says that you live and work in a converted school bus, which is, "as much an engineering and teaching platform as it is a home". No judgements, but maybe you're just not the typical office dweller?
Me? I don't want "role-crossover". I'm a coder, who wants to occasionally enter a state of flow by getting to code uninterrupted for longer than 3 minutes.

No judgements, but maybe you're just not the typical office dweller? Perhaps you're right. But I will say this: when I tell people about (or show them) the bus, nearly everybody - I'm talking 90%+, say something like, "oh, I've always wanted to do that!" So maybe buses are more popular than cubicles. I don't know. :-) > Me? I don't want "role-crossover". I'm a coder I mean, OK. But much of the world has long since moved on to a DevOps style of engagement. I find it much more difficult to have awareness of the entire operation without frequent (even forced) social interaction with colleagues.
- WoodenChair 8y agoIt's also possible that you're the one that's completely out of touch in a school bus shaped bubble. Devops is big, but no most people have not "long since moved on to a DevOps style of engagement." Also, 50% of the 90% of people who say they would prefer working out of a bus are probably being nice. Finally, as you can see from the unscientific poll here, most people do not prefer open offices. Of course I could be wrong, but you could be too. Don't cite anecdotal statistics with such an air of uncertainty.
