I actually enjoy open office plans despite not liking group work/study.

I prefer being alone. I don't really see people other than my wife outside of work. Work is my only chance to socialize, which makes an open office plan ideal for me. It's very easy to start conversations with the people near me and have them turn into fun group discussions.

Once you give up on the idea of having long unbroken periods of productivity, the open office plan can be a lot of fun.

If I gave up on those I would find another career. They are the whole point. Flow is 100% of what I like about software engineering.

Flow is good, and fun conversations are good. Either way, I'm having a good day and getting paid well.
