The noise would drive me crazy. Earplugs would not even work with so many phones so close together. How can people program in that environment?

- pdenya 13y agoCoding from starbucks at the moment. It's definitely doable. Our office has an open floor plan and once in a while there are conversations I wish I could block out a little more effectively but it's not a daily frustration.
- zerr 13y agoYes, commenting on HN from starbucks is quite doable.
- AlisdairO 13y agoDepends, I guess. I'm in open plan, but the floor I work on is basically all engineering. We don't get too many phone calls ;)
- recursive 13y agoBeing one of the apparently rare people that enjoys an open plan work-space, I couldn't tell you what my secret is. I can tell you that the noise does not drive me crazy.
