Ask HN: Do you know any software company not placing developrs in an open space?
Despite all research arguing that open spaces hurt productivity, big software companies still place their engineeres in open spaces. Google does, Facebook does, Twitter does, every startup in London I know of does too.
Fog Creek is one well-publicized case thanks to Joel Spolsky. Are there ANY OTHER companies in the world that don't place developers in an open space?

- hkarthik 12y agoI believe Amazon uses smaller enclosed team spaces.

- peacemaker 12y agoYeah, Garmin stuff 2 or 3 developers into an office and believe me, it's much worse than open space.
