| Jul 15, 2009 at 11:48 | comment | added | JeeBee | Being able to turn around to chat to another developer is priceless, and you can see if they're busy and not disturb them. I think large team offices are better (3 - 5 people per room). Open plan offices do suck, too much noise from too many people. | |

Devs only benefit from proximity when working on the same work unit; and are often tasked to things too small for two people, so they become a distraction. | |
| Apr 2, 2009 at 0:23 | comment | added | BenAlabaster | I find that an office full of developers is great, but being one of just a couple of developers in an office full of other random people is a constantly distracting pain in the a$$. So +1 for private offices, and +1 for open plan offices dedicated to developers. -1 for general open plan offices. | |

| Dec 25, 2008 at 18:02 | comment | added | Hace | Developers need to communicate their work. Should sit together not privately. Downvoted for that reason. | |
| Dec 19, 2008 at 11:54 | comment | added | slim | downvote: good development needs teamwork. Private offices counter teamwork. Hell, even tall cube partitions counter teamwork. | |
