I wished to sit in an open plan office where everyone could see me scratch my ass while all conversation and meetings were done via Slack and Zoom, even if we were next to each other.
I essentially quit the programming profession because of fucking open office plans. Just an absolute nightmare as far as actual productive coding environments are concerned.
They're the wet dreams of marketing departments the world over, but genuinely shit for everyone who has to concentrate on their work lol
Modern "open plan" offices with hot desking bullshit are not designed for neurodivergent people which are generally drawn to programming.
Even when if not neurodivergent ( allegedly ) they are not designed for programmers
At least on slack there is a searchable archive created from the interaction.
Yeah do I really need a searchable archive of FlyingSquid scratching his ass?
Actually. Yeah, sign me up.
Sure, but we would literally be right next to each other and just talk via Slack. It was stupid.
I am the kind of neurodivergent where I really need that kind of built in organization, so from all of us megADHD folks out there we really appreciate your patience.
That does make sense, but I guarantee you that few of the people I worked with were neurodivergent based on break room chatter.
