Am I becoming an old fart?

Ok, with such a bait I can foresee the huge YES response... Joke apart, at my job we are a huge open office. And there often some people on the other side of the floor having humongously laugh every 30 seconds.. (particularly today) I find that very annoying! :mad: wonder whether this is a common reaction or not...

Are you sure that is the right word? :cool: Seriously I suffer with you. 9 months back or so I fired off a rant right here demanding suggestions on things to buy [headphones, baseball bats, etc]. The place was driving me crazy so in the end I quit. :mad:
... such stuff as dreams are made on

If I you had to ask that question then you probably are. :) But if you want to be sure, take a loud music test[^]. Old or not, open space is :thumbsdown:. Perhaps you should invest in good pair of headphones. I did it. Good luck!

I dread this word "HR". The most useless part of any technology company.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Begone, servant of Mordor! :-)
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.Did they just change the Matrix? I had a deja-vu...

Lol thanks. I had actually worked on different types of companies. Even the ones with the assembly line productions, interacting with contract labors. I feel HR definitely had a role there, there'd been a lot of labor issues everyday, right from cafeteria to sanitation. None of the worthy employees dare spend time on these trivial issues. HR shines there. :)

I oh so HATE open office concept. When I first started here I was on one side of the building that had proper full height walled cubes. Then a reorg happened and I was placed under a different manager on the opposite side of the building where they didn't have cubes but a snake of curved table sections. I went from having shelves and drawers to a table section that was barely big enough to hold my monitors. Then we moved buildings, my table is a little bigger and I use my stack of books (big thick things made of paper) as a partial barrier, it's almost 3 feet tall. The visual distraction of people moving about is almost as bad as the auditory. Yes, I have a big pair of over the ear headphones. They don't always have something playing in them but they are always on my head.

Over time we all become old farts... :-D No, I find that I am the same. I think though that as we become older and (hopefully) more proficient at our profession, we tend to need to sink deeper into that "zone" to do the more complex design and architectural tasks. Which requires deeper concentration and mental resources to accomplish. Thus any external distractions become a more critical disruption to our work.
