I wonder if this only applies to the game developers or other Valve staff ... as well.
Darn good question.
I'm having a hard time picturing how this would work for accounting or systems administration.
- gruseom 15y agoBut it wasn't so long ago that it was felt to be impossible for software companies. Actually, it mostly still is. People tend to lower themselves to the preconceptions others have of them. It can be very convincing.
- bdunbar 15y agoIt can be very convincing. Point taken. So .. I thought about it. If Valve were to hire me [1] I can see myself attaching to the systems admin role and liking it a great deal. It's what I do, what I like. I do wonder how they make it happen for back office jobs that are not glamorous or especially fun but absolutely must happen. [1] Hey, Valve. I'm not currently in the market, but I am a damn fine systems administrator. Drop me a line if you're interested.
