Recently, one of the coder rooms here at RustyBrick went dark, literally. I walked by and noticed they are working with the lights off.

Dark RustyBrick Coder Room

I know lots of coders that prefer to work in the dark. Better on the eyes.

At least they are not sleeping. :)

It is funny, since we basically have no sales people - we are in a very quiet office. All you hear is typing all day. Even in that room which has four people, you don't hear much. They each listen to their music, on their headphones and type away.

They do get phone calls but I suspect the music from their headphones blocks out the noise from that.
