Building on my original comment that spawned this post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36883436), I am amazed by how much devs hate open space and still most tech companies just decide to ignore that. For instance, at Amazon we had a yearly and a weekly feedback tool which had questions around things that impact morale and productivity. In the half a decade I was there, not once did I see a question around open office spaces.

Maybe they are waiting for all the devs to sign a petition to "Bring back cubicles. Even if it's not perfect, it's still better than open space."
