Plenty of places give programmers their own office. The trick is finding one that gives each programmer a separate office.

I'd be fine with this, actually. As long as there was someplace quiet and private to go when needed. I wouldn't mind if these spaces were just booths you could grab when needed. As long as there were enough to go around.

How do I use a high-powered desktop with triple heads if I have to grab a booth on demand?

I need focus and fast compile times, not a damn booth.

I'm a fan of huge/multiple monitors too. There could easily be monitors in the "booths," that part's easy. As for desktop-level compute horsepower, hmmmm....

At my workplace pretty much everything is on the network. All the important stuff and a lot of the personal, non-important stuff sits on a file server somewhere. It wouldn't be a huge jump for us to put everything on the network and make the machines dumb terminals. If you did that, you could just put high-powered desktops in each of the booths.

That office could be in the programmer's own home.
