So I’m on the fence I like the social aspects of open offices but I find them highly disruptive to work. But one observation I have made is that open offices force me to bring work home. I can sometimes accomplish more coding in one night at home than in 1 week in an open office. One time I kept a log of every 6 mins at work and found that <40% of the time was actually spent coding in an open office vs 95% working at home and communicating over slack (I don‘t think I need to tell anyone here one 8 hour coding session is not equivalent to eight 1 hour sessions). I think do not disturb private desks with open office hot desks or an open office with telecommuting is ideal.
