Ask HN: Are there any tech companies in the Bay Area that offer private offices?
I cannot believe that still in this day and age, there is still a belief that open offices are better for developers?? Joel Spolsky tried to set the record straight, what, about 15 years ago?<p>For the record, I don&#x27;t normally listen to music when programming - I like a quiet environment.  Interruptions are a bane.  I have a private office, but as soon as anyone enters - even quietly, my flow state is broken.<p>Plus on the flipside, while waiting for a long compile or download, I will grab one of the guitars sitting in my office and randomly jam away.  I am sure in an open office environment, my co-workers would not appreciate that either.
