Rumpus: So tell me about the engineers.

Employee: They’re weird, and smart as balls.
If you learn one thing from this article, make it this:

Your balls are as smart as engineers.

No doubt. They are smart enough to get what they want, be well taken care of, and are also quite intuitive, it seems--they can sense trouble a mile away.

good article.

it's pretty mind blowing that ALL actions and data are saved on a backup server somewhere. that's a lot of market research to the right bidder.

Sounds like they are mirroring the google work environment...I hope it catches on...I would love it if my company started treating me like a human being.

Well being that I'm listed as being married to one, then I'd say Facebook fails.

Facebook knows that your wife had plastic surgery to look Asian and that you're not the father of your son. Time to pay Maury a visit Maki!
