I do too. I think a lot of people who spend work hours browsing the web don't like them.

- ajkjk 5y agoCynical comment, don't you think? I like open offices and I'm a dev. It's not that inconceivable that people have different preferences, right?
- toomanyrichies 5y agoThe person to whom you're responding probably made that comment because of GP's statement "I think a lot of people who spend work hours browsing the web don't like them." Which in itself is pretty cynical. As a fellow dev, I dislike open office plans, but not because I spend my day browsing the web. I dislike them because I'm rather noise-sensitive, and it's hard for me to tune out the sound of ping-pong balls being batted back and forth. I can't just put on headphones, because my team pair-programs extensively. With WFH, I can pair program and not deal with that or the myriad of other aural distractions. That said, I appreciate your comments on this post and yes, I wholeheartedly agree that the preferences of folks who prefer WFO are just as valid as those of us who prefer WHF. Plenty of room for both in the world. :-) And with that, I'm off to play today's Wordle while half-listening to a Zoom meeting.
