As Office Space Shrinks, So Does Privacy for Workers

I rule out companies that have devs working in cube farms or behind closed doors. I can almost always see this is how the company does development by just looking at their code.

You can almost see people running in opposite directions and closing their doors behind them sitting at their keyboards coding away in silence. Lots of duplication of code. Writing lame tests after the code is "done", over-compartmentalizing everything, features that aren't specified in any requirements, factories creating factories creating factories. Lots of "Design Patterns", etc.

Why is having an office for everybody a bad thing? You think the it's a reflection on the culture somehow?
