    - Programmers work best without interruption

    - Office doors are helpful

    - It's easier to read someone's screen when sitting beside them, than when shoulder-surfing

    - Natural light is good

    - Window view is nice

    - Programmers like foosball and other dot-com era goodies

    I must have missed the "bionic" part.
