    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.

        Modern “open plan” offices with hot desking bullshit are not designed for neurodivergent people which are generally drawn to programming.

          I am the kind of neurodivergent where I really need that kind of built in organization, so from all of us megADHD 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.
