- fsk 12y agoThe problem is that cuts out 99%+ of all employers. When was the last time you interviewed someplace that gave all programmers their own office?
- hueving 12y agoPlenty of places give programmers their own office. The trick is finding one that gives each programmer a separate office.
- JohnBooty 12y agoI'd be fine with this, actually. As long as there was someplace quiet and private to go when needed. I wouldn't mind if these spaces were just booths you could grab when needed. As long as there were enough to go around.
- teacup50 12y agoHow do I use a high-powered desktop with triple heads if I have to grab a booth on demand? I need focus and fast compile times, not a damn booth.
- JohnBooty 12y agoI'm a fan of huge/multiple monitors too. There could easily be monitors in the "booths," that part's easy. As for desktop-level compute horsepower, hmmmm....
- itsybitsycoder 12y agoAt my workplace pretty much everything is on the network. All the important stuff and a lot of the personal, non-important stuff sits on a file server somewhere. It wouldn't be a huge jump for us to put everything on the network and make the machines dumb terminals. If you did that, you could just put high-powered desktops in each of the booths.
- brianwawok 12y agoAny 100% wfh job interview
- adyus 12y agoThat office could be in the programmer's own home.
- p1esk 12y agoOnly if you're looking for a job as a CEO
- chrisseaton 12y agoAt Oracle I got my own office as an intern
- nattofriends 12y agoYeah, but then you were at Oracle.
- thearn4 12y ago1 programmer per office is pretty sparse. We have 3-4 here where I work, and it seems to be a nice equilibrium between privacy and ease of collaboration.
