Ask HN: Do you work for/run a startup with private offices?

4 pointsby basicallydanabout 9 years ago
A while back I read the book version of Joel Spolsky&#x27;s Joel on Software[1] and one of the many things that struck me is how he gives each developer a private office. He&#x27;s written about it and been written about in various places [2, 3], but I would like to hear from other developers or people who run tech companies – especially small ones including startups – whether they do this, too? If so, can you share a bit about how it goes down? Do people like it? Does it help attract smart people?<p>Thanks!<p>[1]: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joelonsoftware.com&#x2F;BuytheBooks.html [2]: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.joelonsoftware.com&#x2F;items&#x2F;2008&#x2F;12&#x2F;29.html [3]: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.stackoverflow.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;01&#x2F;why-we-still-believe-in-private-offices&#x2F;
