Thanks for the link. Yup, that is anathema to me, you couldn't pay me enough to ever consider working there. >As each pair works, neither engineer is permitted

Thanks for the link. Yup, that is anathema to me, you couldn't pay me enough to ever consider working there. >As each pair works, neither engineer is permitted to send email or text chat — much less surf the web >The engineers don’t go onto their laptops unless it’s absolutely necessary. They don’t use their phone unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Anyway I will try to avoid buying whatever their product is, I don't want to support companies that would do this type of stuff. This is also why I refuse to move or work in America- I am dead serious, your employment law and corporate culture scares me.

As someone who gets distracted easily, I would actually love that.

I think this would actually be awesome for 20-60 minute sprints. The only change I'd make is to put the pairs into private offices, with comfortable room for 3 and cram for 6, ideally with glass walls or something. And then give everyone a private personal office to use for half of the day as well. When engineers cost $200-300k/yr and real estate is 18/yr/SF, I don't see a problem with burning 500 square feet per engineer.
