A Developer’s Voice: I Hate Open Floorplans, It Makes Roger Come Out… 1

A Developer’s Voice blog has the post I Hate Open Floorplans, It Makes Roger Come Out…

A couple years later I got married to my great wife (now mother of my two boys).  She would sometimes call me at work and would get confused because I was so “angry” with her.  I was disengaged and gave short answers.  I was not the guy I was at home, and so she started referring me at work as Roger.  She couldn’t figure out why I was sweet at home but distant when she called me at work.  She was not a fan of Roger.  Over the years I have talked to many other programmers and many of us seem to have this problem.  We are not actually angry, we are just lost in our own worlds and are still waking up from it.

I provide a link to this article so Sharon can better understand what she has experienced with me for over 40 years.
