When I started my career in the late 80s programmers had their own offices, which was great. Then in the 90s I largely worked in shared offices, which was still OK. By the late 90s everyone was working in cubicles, which was a step down, and I longed for the days of offices. Then, for me, in the teens it had seemed that everyone had converted to the open-plan hellscape we're all now familiar with, and I longed for the days of cubicles. Now since the pandemic, I work from my personal office at home, which is the absolute best, and I'm never going back.
