Is that a picture of them doing it?
What is this weird fantasy that programming looks like this? It's always the same: a couple of people, always of diverse backgrounds, physically interacting, usually pointing and laughing at something, with perhaps another group, representing different demographics, looking on with a mixture of curiosity and awe.
Do an image search for programming to see more examples of this.
I guarantee this work was the result of guys sitting at desks, possibly in the dark, thinking. Are we collectively embarrassed that this is what programming looks like? Or are these just fantasies of management types who have never written a line in their lives?
- johneth 3y agoGive it a rest, mate.
- globular-toast 3y agoNah, this is the thing that leads to open offices etc. I want people to understand what programming actually looks like and these silly pictures need to go.
- draaglom 3y agoThe primary goal of most large organisations' dev blog is to attract potential candidates to the top of the recruitment funnel. This picture appears to be (presumably) the actual team doing a team building activity. This is both a reasonable choice given the inferred instrumental goals of the blog, and a honest reflection of (one part of) the team life, assuming it's a photo of the real team.
- beejiu 3y agoThey are clearly not programming. It's a team building game called the marshmallow challenge.
