One thing I can tell you is that in my first job in 1977 right out of university I had an office with a door that shut and quiet space to work, which I needed because I was working in assembly language and as there were fewer machines that developers, I had to debug code on paper. I do think this strengthened my debugging skills, in part because as machine time was rare I had to plan ahead for which interventions would get the most return on my time. I had an office at my next job, too. Needless to say that's all gone now, except ironically the work-from-home has once again given me a mostly quiet workspace.
