Grindr has been extremely mainstream for maybe a year if not longer.

etalian posted:It's pretty much why the companies provide such over the top amenities such as free lunch/shuttles/all types of snacks/full service gym since they want their employees to stay at work cranking out product and also develop a cult like admiration for the overpaid founders of the startup. We also do it because really attractive perks may not cost the company much at all, but to a candidate might be what makes them choose us. Good developers can be a chore to find and hire, and some bite on silly stuff like expansive free beer selection or free Spotify premium.

I wouldn't think a bank would have the authority or paperwork for creating a corporation in their office no?

Yeah "user stories" is pretty common jargon in the product management / usability worlds.

That doesn't mean scrum's a buzzword as much as it means that company implemented it poorly. We recently went agile and while it's buzzwordy to say that it's a real workflow and really helped organize what was a bit of a chaotic product.

Yeah "scrum master" just sounds like the best hobo at handjobs. The system has done wonders IMO at our office however.

withak posted:Yeah the personal heater joke was kind of an inkblot test. The correct answer is obviously that the nerds did their homework on safety but didn't stop to think that heating people with microwaves would probably elicit an instinctive negative response from the layman. I disagree, and think the joke "I've been testing it on these guys all winter" was to show the guy hasn't really done the homework yet.

Yeah ignore my part about them making a joke about testing it for 3 months to support your pet theory.
