I liked working in an open-plan office with my team around me. We were a team of 4 who had been working together from 2007-2008 through to 2017 (for a while, we were 4/5 of Sensory Networks, acquired by Intel). We talked all sorts of outrageous shit, got lots of work done, etc. After the Intel acquisition it was still good, but having other people in hearing distance of us wasn't nearly as fun (likely for either side). I enjoyed it a lot more than sitting at home. Conversely, I think sitting at home is way better than being wedged in with a bunch of random semi-connected folks.
