Let’s not forget that cubicles we’re invented in the 60s as a human (and humane) relief from open plan offices. General assignment of programmers to offices wash a short blip in the timeline of work.
What’s weird to me is the advances of private offices seem so clear (sure, not for everyone, but overwhelmingly so) and employees are so expensive, that open plan seems like a genuine and significant false economy. So why do people do it?
