I know in pop culture you aren't a really cool coder/hacker/statistician/accountant? unless you do your brainstorming/calculating on a clear glass "whiteboard" but do people actually do this IRL?<p>http://www.fandango.com/movie-news/watch-ben-affleck-in-new-the-accountant-trailer-751147 (see pic in article)
Yes, we have done two offices with paneled glass as whiteboards.<p>We have a fabrication studio run by the owner's brother, who made the wood paneling, and attached runners for holding dry erase markers, and erases.<p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/sJkFhXp.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/sJkFhXp.jpg</a>
My office had a glass door. I used it as a whiteboard extension all the time. For those who don't know what a 'door' is, it is a thing to improve productivity. Think of it as an effective noise-cancelling device.
