This is by far the most presumptuous and arrogant comment I've seen on HN this week.
Disingenuous too. You claim to "respect" people who like working in open office spaces, and then you turn around an insist they are less productive, and indeed, working on easy problems that don't require extensive thought.
Seriously man?
- dpritchett 14y agoThey are less productive than they could be with better office space, not necessarily less productive than everyone who works in private offices. Peopleware covers this in great detail. There is a section which suggests that quiet office space is required to find the best non obvious solutions. http://javatroopers.com/Peopleware.html#Chapter_12 http://javatroopers.com/Peopleware.html#Chapter_12
