no office?

the most valuable Google engineer doesn't get an office?

fuck the entire left coast, man. Plenty of offices in flyover country.

>notice something interesting

He's a straight, white male.

There's a difference between employees and hobbyists, retard.

This man sees coding as a way to get money and prioritizes productivity over comfort and enjoyment. Hobbyists are the opposite.

Split keyboards are honestly not a meme--I've started using a Kinesis Advantage, and it's excellent (would be perfect if it used Matias switches, Cherry sucks).

That's a hell of a list of #includes at the top of the code. At line 1 of the files in both editors.

I'm thinking this:

Photographer: Can you please sit down and look like you write some code?

Sorry OP, that was what I noticed.

>He doesn't have two, three or four monitors

I count 6 monitors in that picture. As one of their most valuable employees he's not sharing an office with other employees and has the space to keep them all on a ridiculously long desk facing a wall sized window that gives him a view of a park filled with trees.

If you were worth hundreds of millions of dollars housed in one of the most extravagant office buildings on earth with a gigantic office to yourself would you want a multi monitor setup like one of the plebs who's stuck at a single desk in a widowless room or a multi workstation setup to fill up some of the empty space you have?

Also I notice this: He just unpacked his new monitor based on the cardboard box on the floor. The USB cable from his monitor ends in a micro-usb, probably for his smartphone.

Is that a book called "Introduction to Erlang" on his desk? Just a guess from the visible letters.

>He doesn't have some tricked out text editor with million different features and colors.

That looks like gvim.

>He doesn't run some super-autistic Linux distro like Arch that demands you babysit it all the time.

Arch doesn't need babysitting. I can count on my fingers the problems I've had with arch (not counting those related to SystemD as I only have so many fingers).

He looks like a nice guy though, too bad he develops for Satan himself.

oh it is a corovan box https://corovan.com/, so he just got his new office?

The book is:

Handbook of Neuroevolution Through Erlang

>Provides a friendly step-by-step guide on the construction of Topology and Weight Evolving Artificial Neural Network systems from start to finish

>the most valuable Google engineer doesn't get an office?

"Startup culture" models their developer work areas after university computer labs. Long, rectangular tables of adjacent workstations. Having worked in offices, cubicles, and "startups", I can honestly say that the latter configuration promotes teamwork much better, and mostly prevents people from dicking around on social media during work hours.

this is stale pasta

I used to have a desktop by the window.

Does sun glare not bother them?

>>974623

I get the impression this is a photo-op. Most trusted devs get to work remotely and have some desk to come in to but usually give it up to excuse working remotely more often. Would explain why he's touching someone else's computer

>>974605 (OP)

But the thing you failed to understand was that is what works for him and the types of work he does, just because that setup suits him doesn't mean that literally everyone else should copy his setup.

You point out how he has one screen, but for someone who does a lot of electronics design such as myself you realistically need multiple screens to get maximum productivity, one for layout, one for schematic, and often a third for various datasheets and design aids. As for programming some people like to have a fully fledged IDE with an integrated terminal and debugger while others prefer a simple text editor and a separate terminal.

Some of the observations such as the fact that hes using bog standard Ubuntu rather than Arch or Gentoo is valid while others are largely personal preference.

Those monitors are probably for other people, its unlikely he works alone even if hes Googles most valuable employee. From what I know about how Google works internally hes probably got a team of 6 or so highly skilled people which he leads, and based on a lot of research done by the likes of Microsoft and Google its the most effective to have teams work together in the same room.

>>974624

>He's a straight, white male.

Also this.

<d-don't look at the reflection

>>974757

faggotry like this should not even be possible

he's not even celebrating linux anymore

that's just the COEXIST tattoo

start writing good code and stop worrying about everything else should be like a motto

>>974605 (OP)

He has probably a 6k 30" display, though. Nice ratio, but still meme tier.

>>974647

>has never written more than 1000 LOC in his life

Nice one brainlet

>>974649

That's not a new monitor. Its an HP ZR22W, that "box" could be literally anything

More like Poettery

>>974634

Does it help your wrists?

If i had more money id be buying a bunch of consumerist toys too.

But i cant code. Kek.

>>974809

I'm sure he cries himself to sleep on his pile of money knowing that some weeb thinks he's btfo.

>>976270

Weebs respect one another even if they're trannies, rich, poor, etc. You'd be surprised but it's possible if he's a closet weeb he'd actually be pretty butthurt if a fellow weeb thinks he's btfo.

>>974605 (OP)

I agree we should consider electing this man as the new Terry

>He doesn't have some bullshit meme mech keyboard with some special switches

wavy keyboards are an old meme tho
