I really don't see the appeal of Nerf guns at work at all.
I see recruitment videos from some companies that show people sneaking around with nerf guns and shooting other programmers in the back of the head when they aren't looking.
If someone was firing foam darts at me whilst I was in the middle of a delicate debugging session, my kneejerk reaction would probably be to punch them in the face.
All this stuff strikes me as kinda juvenile and doesn't really help if you want to be taken seriously as a professional.
- MartinCron 14y agoNot only is it juvenile and unprofessional, it's really... male. If you really want to recruit talented people, how about just not being repellent to female developers.
- greenyoda 14y agoEven if someone was just having a Nerf battle outside my office while I was trying to debug something, I'd probably want to strangle them. I can't imagine a bunch of people playing quietly with Nerf guns, and it's not likely that everyone within earshot will want to take a break from their work at exactly the same time.
