Achmed Jones posted:google had a handful of kegs in the kitchen downstairs from where i used to work and a bunch of liquor bottles in my team area. i never saw anyone drink to excess or anything like that, though. for all the booze that was _around_, people only drank it very occasionally. which was really nice - if you wanted a beer there it was, everyone expected that you'd act like an adult. but also there was no expectation that people _would_ be drinking. one of my friends who worked at google was the leader of a whiskey club and they got super drunk in the office at least twice a week but it was expensive booze and most of them were euros/australians so I think they got a pass

The coding academy I went to as part of my re-skilling was also a coworking space, and had 1 beer tap that was unlocked each day at 4pm (and after noon on Fridays). The quality of the keg they had was a nice barometer of how close to bankruptcy the whole operation was. During the beginning of my time there the keg was usually some fancy local craft beer. Then it started being a generic big-name domestic. As I was graduating they hadn't replaced the empty keg for a few weeks.

one time at work I had dropped something below the sink (no cabinet) and found that someone had stashed a smirnoff liquor bottle there, right in the crevice between the plumbing and bowl. i get that the computer toucher open office situation often doesn’t have drawers to store stuff in, but man there’s got to be a better way. airplane bottles perhaps

at work there's alcohol of some sort at every other desk (and all fridges) but people rarely drink during the week. plenty of drinking happens at the parties/gatherings tho

they used to let us drink company supplied booze from 3pm on Friday in the ISP call centre I worked for and it was a complete poo poo show which somehow went on for years. then I went to work for a resourced company that had a total booze ban because the mines were dry sites so the office was too in solidarity. neither was ideal but I'd much prefer the dry office.

Turns out Humane’s (Hardware start up with a bunch of ex-Apple people) revolutionary new device is…a projector in your pocket. So instead of holding your phone in your hand you can hold a projector in your pocket and nothing in you hand. You still need to hold up your hand as if you are holding a phone so it has something to project onto. Probably also doesn’t work very well outside. https://twitter.com/ElunaAI/status/1649346712178249729 Looks like an MIT Media Lab demo from 2008. Pretty sure this exact idea has already been tried several times before. Like I’m sure there is some no name Android phone with a built in projector that does a lovely job of this already. Edit: Basically thread title. This just sounds like an inherently terrible idea. Pulcinella fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Apr 22, 2023 |

I’ve definitely been in a few 10am meetings where someone rocked up with a drink and got some side eye. it was a startup so it very much had a culture of drink some stress away but anything before lunch got some shade.

one of the most fascinating interviews I was a part of was when we all (4 engineers plus the manager) took the candidate to lunch. The candidate ordered first and got a beer. Generally not done at our company at all, but one of the other engineers didn’t want him left out I guess, and ordered one as well. He then ordered a second. Still hired him because he was a really good engineer. And then he’d have a beer for lunch, even when eating at his desk. But to his credit, he never got drunk and was decent at his job, so *shrug*
