They sell black ties and white shirts still, perhaps you can buy them and live out this fantasy.

  But there are no old school cubicle offices to go to anymore. Offices have turned into hotel lobbies where nothing happens except terrible software engineering using Jira and some HR bullshit to deal with. Great coffee though. Actually, just realized, if an office space has bad coffee, it'd probably be my type of a place.

    My company turned their office where every engineer had their own room in an open-space dance floor. 60% of the engineer team became remote after that. But HR and Marketing loved this change.

      A literal dance floor or an open-floorplan office?
      • pelasaco 4y ago
        open-floorplan with music where people from marketing, hr, sales talk loud while going to infinite smoke breaks

    Old school is an office with a door or someone's garage.

    I hate Jira as much as the next guy, but I think you are confusing what you hate about some type of company with what you think the reasons are for 'terrible software engineering'. The coffee at my office is very bad though, so maybe you want to apply there.
