I think that private offices are a bad thing in many cases. Having everyone together in an open space increases communication and results in much less time spent trying to figure out what's going on or should be done.
- Klockan 12y agoI don't agree, having all engineers in the same room is akin to having only global variables in your code.
- Perdition 12y agoThat sounds like a crutch for a malfunctioning team and bad management. I find it incredibly ironic how many software companies apparently don't believe in the power or usefulness of Information Technology.

- proveanegative 12y ago>Having everyone together in an open space increases communication That it does, but often at the price of productivity. There is a line dividing productive communication and pointless distraction and the more people you put in one room the more often you cross it.
