How many programming questions do you field a day? I think it's probably 3 or 4 for me. I probably bother people 3 or 4 times a day too.

Every one of those conversations happens in someone's office right now, and distracts at most 2 people.

How long does it take for you to get "back in the groove" afterwards? Probably 5-10 minutes for me, more if I was doing something particularly intensive.

Now, lay out me and my ten coworkers in an open floor plan and watch what happens.

There's no way it works.
