congrats, you found the most effective way to ensure that you only hire candidates who couldn't get on at more enjoyable places to work.


No, I attract hard working, no nonsense people who take joy in getting things done with least amount of friction, and who don't need masseuse to write code.


Smart working people can just go elsewhere. The hardworking people can make use of recycled computers scavenged off the street. If you can't wait 10 minutes for the test suite to run, things to compile or files to finish transferring - then you're just a wining bitch. Using old hard drives is fine, an SSD will just make the work easier. Work should be hard, and painful - otherwise it's just play. Why would you want to see multiple views of your data, when you can just flip between windows all the time and scroll a lot?


Think of all the joy they'd have, less friction and money saved if they got rid of their manager. ;-)


You don't need chairs either, or central heating or even colour screens for that matter.
