The modern HIP IT work environment

The noise really helps your concentration. But listening in can be fun.

Did round robin in high school, as well as foosball to esacpe art class. Biking works for SF. Not so much in winter north of the 49th parallel (masochists excluded)

Do kids count?

Coding and eating, I'd go for free beer, but that may cause you to fall off the bike on the way home. Never mind the weight gain.

Who has time for fitness after 8-12 hours of work and a 2 hour commute?

You really want to hire people who think about retiring?

Sounds good. I'd go for that.

Do I have to show up and engage in team building exercises devised by non coders?

Last time I did this was in high school, and probably dressed up in something that is politically incorrect today.
