> I can't wear headphones for an extended period of time due to physical pain

Well it's comforting to see someone else has this issue. I find this to be the only part about 'open' offices that I personally take issue with at the moment. I really can't continually wear headphones and it does not seem unreasonable for software developers to be able to code in a relatively quiet environment

I guess it depends then. Having been taught Racket in my intro programming class by Olin Shivers I can say I adored it and his class turns people into computer science majors using functional programming

It's too bad that there aren't intern positions. Lots of DC students would be interested I'm sure.
