It's amazing how, 34 years later, that book is at least as relevant now as it was then.
One would have expected some improvement in that area but sometimes it feels to me like the opposite is true.
- drewcoo 5y agoWhat? Are you saying that devs in bullpens like livestock wasn't part of the Peopleware vision? Maybe I should give the book a closer reading next time . . .
- leetrout 5y agoI can’t tell if you are being serious or not. The book advocates for treating people as adults. Trusting them to do their work. Creating and environment and process for doing that work. And it definitely does not defend bullpen working environments.
- olau 5y agoIndeed! The shared office building we're renting offices in was visited by the furniture police not too long ago. Fortunately, they didn't enter the offices, if they did, we'd have thrown them out, but they did put up gigantic signs in the hallways with slogans like "together we achieve more" and "coworking can be contagious". First we laughed in disgust, then we simply became banner blind. Then covid hit.
