We have a choice of either 2-3 days at the office hot desking or 4+ days at the office with fixed desks. Most devs actually choose the latter, other staff prefer the former.
- HWR_14 4y agoA hot desk is fine if you check email and chat on the phone. It doesn't work for a developer station that is set up to account for the programmer's idiosyncrasies. I mean, you set up the extra monitors, the good keyboard, the mouse and that takes a while. Not to mention the ancillary devices needed for development
- GekkePrutser 4y agoI think what really doesn't work is the open office gardens that are common these days. When I started work I got my own office even as an intern. It was great to close the door when I needed to concentrate. Now everyone around me is blabbing on headsets on all different calls and it's a waterfall of noise. I've started to refuse going to the office if one of my "office days" is filled with online meetings (eg all-day workshop). There's just no point for me and for the others that do try to work.
- anvuong 4y agoI have 2 monitors with a particular setup, a laptop holder, a workstation that plugs into one of the two monitors for console, a hand-assembled mechanical keyboard and an ergo mouse. This setup is typical for a senior dev/engineer in my team, it's no surprise hotdesk does make any sense for devs.
