As a guy with ADD, i would never be able to work at a place like that! I mean do actual work. I would just be too distracted by all the fun things to do. I think many more developers are the same?

Well, cool office though. I am a dropbox user myself and love the service!



Yes. I've worked in some bad open-concept setups where the mean-time-between-distractions (MTBD) was sometimes 5 min or so. Awful.

Um. Did you just sit your sweaty ass on the corner of my desk so you can lean over and chat to the dude sitting next to me? WTF?

Programming (and games programming, especially) seems to attract a lot of ADHD types.
