I am so glad that Fog Creek is sticking to their guns on developers having private offices. The open office trend that everyone seems to be following now is rather discouraging. As a developer, I find it so hard to concentrate deeply when I need to.

Article is written by a marketer and he just keeps going in circle without ever clarifying this.

Of my God, it would be nirvana. I would go down 20% salary to work in my own office instead of open office.

Is the blueprint in the article the entire floorplan? Strikingly small compared to how big I envisioned them, even with SO and trello spun off...

Isn't this open plan still? It looks like 6 people get a private office and 15 get thrown between the fish tank and the coffee shop. Even 4 of the 6 with private offices look like their way too close to the kitchen, the other 2 have flushing toilets and showers to contend with.
