For better or worse, every startup has an open plan office like this. The new breed of 22 year old software engineers do not appear to be negatively affected. Joel and Peopleware need to do a re-assessment using younger people who grew up with 24/7 internet.

What I found though was that the hard work got done from 9pm-12am over the VPN ... a recipe for eventual burnout.
