I wrote SW back then and cannot confirm what he's saying, must be his personal experience. Some good points if you don't take him literally.
Also, what the article doesn't take into account is that the hardware, SW tooling (and its cost) and, most importantly, SW distribution methods have changed radically.
Lack of uninterrupted focus is the only really valid point, in my opinion.
- GeorgeTirebiter 5y agoI wrote SW back then and confirm everything he's saying, except never had fully enclosed office, but did have carpet-on-the-floor and high-wall cubicle. And, even then, if I really had to get into flow, I left the office for a couple of days.
- zwieback 5y agoJust out of curiosity - could you work from home pre-fast internet/laptops/remote desktop? That was a struggle for me, especially when debugging things that required several PCs.
- u801e 5y agoI want working professionally yet, but as a student studying computer science at an undergraduate level, I did many projects at home while connected over a SSH session. Windows remote desktop was mostly usable at those speeds though with some lag (but that could be d somewhat overcome using keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse). I imagine working from home could be done in that setting.
