We can all point to extravagances in industries we don't like, and then declare them playgrounds for overgrown babies. I remember when I was in undergrad walking past the Google offices in Pittsburgh. There was a bridge above them where you could look down into the window. I didn't really know about Google at the time, but my eyes were caught by the bean bags, foosball table, ping pong table, the giant wall of candy, and of course the bright primary colors. I think there was a finger painting station back there too, but I can't be sure.
For the longest time I had thought it was a daycare but I was confused as to why there were never any children. Turns out it was an office for Google engineers!
So it's pretty rich to hear about how Universities are nurseries from a website dedicated to the tech industry. Especially when universities are attended by 18-21 year olds who still have developing frontal lobes. The tech industry is mostly (ostensibly) grown ass men, so what's their excuse for the bean bags and candy walls?
