Morning all
On the theme of remote or not, who's heading into the office today and who's chilling at home being productive?
I'm in the office too today
and it is a very noisy office… that is the bit I don’t like about it. Open plan sucks IMHO.
(and my employer confirmed that with research 40 years ago… and then got rid of all the offices )
@thomas: That's why earphones were invented
i'm @home, with a nice view from the south downs all the way to forest row
Sorry for delayed response, was on train and then went underground
Nice. I'll be back home tomorrow
Only issue is I'm note coding in Clojure 😉
@yogidevbear: purescript ? haskell ? lux ?
If only... cfml
Ha, just seen that if I drop the c it becomes fml
ColdFusion
headphones are a bad idea for dev i think - research i have come across seems to show that, while music may be helpful for repetitive tasks, it hinders learning
there's one such experiment related in one of the tom de marco books, though i can't remember which one... hardly a solid reference
Don't think I'd wear earphones for learning purposes, but good for me for cutting out background noise if I need to get something finished for work
@yogidevbear: in the experiment i recall participants were given a dev task which had a non-obvious shortcut, and randomly assigned to two groups - one had to listen to music, the other no music... music made little difference to how quickly people worked or how well they performed, but overwhelmingly those who spotted the shortcut were from the no-music group
Interesting. Do you know if the no-music group were in a quiet environment or in a noisy workplace?
@yogidevbear: here we go. a quiet room - p78 http://ebook.eqbal.ac.ir/Web-Design/Drupal/Design%20and%20Prototyping%20for%20Drupal/Peopleware.pdf
Would be interesting if they did the same experiment, but somewhere like a busy coffee shop or similar
my guess is that if you are in a noisy workplace you are screwed whichever way
Thanks for the link though. Will definitely take a look through that
Ha true
I tend to agree with this http://www.mattblodgett.com/2015/06/just-wear-headphones.html
Offices and remote work for everyone!
lol - was bookmarking that page @minimal and my pinboard plugin suggests tags of "music i need a poo"
I work remotely most days and if it ends up running over more than a week, then the isolation can be quite challenging. We have a local co-working thing going on Wednesdays which I'm trying to get into
I like having a clubhouse to go to. I'd prefer smaller task focused rooms, but I didn't like having an office to myself. That was more isolating than working from home.
+1 for choices
http://raining.fm/ is a decent choice if you need to block out noise in an office and think
On the topic of music websites... http://listen.hatnote.com/
I thought this was pretty cool
