It'd be nice if in an ideal setting there was a balance of both open and closed perspectives. I guess I consider myself an introverted extrovert. While I enjoy being around others and having physical interaction when the situation precludes the necessity open is great. But I think as others have said what the powers at be fail to realize is that in order to be productive SE's we need longer, uninterrupted fragments of time throughout the day for deep, intense, unadulterated focus...when this doesn't happen. Things go to Hell in a hand basket rather quickly. More problematic for me than physical space restriction was the timetable restriction that too many meetings and other time sucks can have. Non-code pushers fail to understand that that question they asked about in the 8 a.m. stand up hasn't been solved or even thought about b/c we can't get a waking 2+ hours of fluid thought. Having worked in pretty much every type of space I still can't say which I really prefer/which makes me most productive!
Lol not everything is a white paper. This was simply a "don't give up" story that I think MOST of us found encouraging. But everyone's allowed to be a critic I guess.
As someone above spoke to it seems like these claims are now facing public outcry because Uber is beginning to lose it's underdog moniker...I imagine myself saying "now would I be concerned this was an ethically egregious action if that had been trying to 'sabotage' cab companies?" The answer to which being...eh I'd probably say "GO new/little guy!...f* those guys."
Two companies...one mediocre...one I don't believe large enough to pull the deadweight of the other...trying to mitigate tax burden and safe face.......Where I went to University there was a Burger King that was right by my old apartment and it just so happened to sit on a huge piece of property...and property there wasn't cheap (relatively speaking) and we prayed for 5 years that'd they sell it and put in a Panera Bread.
