This is a good idea, but poor execution in that it's horribly ugly... very aesthetically unappealing. As you mention Pixar does it way better, and there must be a middle ground where you have something cost effective yet attractive to work in.
- tptacek 17y agoIt may not be fair to critique aesthetics, since they're blogging the first one they ever built, and they're purposely leaving some of the aesthetics up to the occupants. Remember, "if you're not embarassed by v1, you shipped too late".
- mecloran 17y agoAgreed that it is ugly. We never finished the first one because we felt that the nine new ones we are building are much better - they have trim, will be painted decently, use less whiteboard on the interiors (and exterior), have bigger windows, fit through our dock door for moving in a few months, etc. And, yeah, our office space sucks for these right now, but is really, really cheap. We decided to do it where we are right now to get started with a 1.0 version of Developer Town, but we're moving in 6-9 months to the desired space (a high-ceilinged warehouse space that will contribute far more to a Truman Show "town" feel.)
