Fast pace environments = we didn't do any planning or architecture so you'll be fire fighting 24/7. Oh and our management doesn't understand software development so they'll be blind to the issues

I constantly work in open space startups like this for 18 years… first job 6, second 4, now for 8 years as a tech lead.

Sometimes I really wish for a cubicle or personal office room… I think I’m becoming old

The shared open office thing is pretty much why I quit the profession. I don't know what's wrong with most people, but I need peace and fucking quiet in order to code effectively.
