Hiring Hipster Software Developers, a Practical Guide
- BenjaminCoe 15y agoI thought it would be worth talking about some of the steps we take at my company to foster a workplace attractive to today's urban-hipster-software-developer.

- AdamMeghji 15y agoWhile not exactly a Barista, our bootstrapped startup invested in a DeLonghi EC702 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Maker for approx $175 USD on Amazon.com. We'd usually make Starbucks runs and spend $2.50/trip once or twice a day, so it didn't take long to pay itself back. But more importantly, it's been a fun for us developers to try and hack our little entry-level espresso maker into pulling the best cup possible. Toying with the variables that go in to pulling a tasty espresso (quality of grinds, grind fineness, tamping, duration of pull, etc.) has become an on-going project here, and our espresso rituals are now baked in to our culture. So yeah, definitely recommend "hiring a barista", even if it's just a DeLonghi EC702 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Maker.
