In my programming career (which started in the '90s) I went from private offices with doors to high-walled cubicles to low-walled cubicles to desks in an open office, and finally to an open office plan where you didn’t even have your own assigned desk. The last two steps were working from home (yay) and getting laid off (not as yay).
Actually we don’t get cubicles anymore since everyone went with open office plans.

Can’t concentrate in a open office. I’m made to be alert to the slightest change and see the bear first in the woods.
Gentle Reminder: Your boss is the bear.
He’s yet another distraction.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “win the bear chase”
Your coworkers are the other campers.
Proven ineffective and yet they keep doing it.
You can fit more people in an open office concept.
We all live in a Panopticon?
Say it ain’t so!
