Oh gawd. I'm so glad I don't code in a Cube Farm ...

too funny. In the mid 90s I did development on Sun SparcStations that had audio. Had an error slaved to "Doh!" It gold old fast.

The day I'm required to code in a cube farm (or worse - in a open office) is the day I quit. X|

They'll position it as part of their support for the blind - audible icons. :sigh:

I used them back in the day, well the events breakpoint and the like, but then I did use headphones. "Where's the KaBoom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering KaBoom."
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Also in the 90s. I worked in a cube farm and one of the lead devs had a laser blast tone as his email notification - a guy who got *lots* of email. One morning before he got in I replaced his tone with an obnoxious sheep baa (he was from New Zealand). He wandered around a bit trying to find who did it but we were all laughing so hard he couldn't figure out who actually did it. He was laughing as hard as we were so he really didn't stand a chance.

I'm also glad I don't code in a cube farm (I would never do that!) but I do make cautious use of the audio cues. (I work alone in my own office in my own home.) I sometimes leave a long-running debug session to continue while I get on with something else. A discreet "ding" when it hits a breakpoint is quite helpful.

I used to work in an office where a guy had an ogre style voice that growled "Am I disturbing you?" whenever an email arrived. Which was about every minute or so. Stopped being funny by about the third minute ...

I guess a long time ago. I lead developer should have bought a keg to figure it out. The keg was for the team he was leading. Techies be techies

You thread title got me thinking. The 'farm' word is used in relation to a number of things in the hi tech world (cube farm , render farm, etc.). The term is probably used to point the repeating pattern that emerges in some hi tech environments with distinct items looking the same and executing identical work, which makes a dumb approach to things from a programmer`s perspective. I wander, could a certain central district in Madrid be referred to using the label "farm".
