The Googleplex

1 Sep

I love the big fantasy, that people who work for Google are playing ping pong and napping in giant bean bag chairs all day at the Googleplex.  That the whole company is just a giant rumpus room in a split level ranch home from 1972.  Florence Henderson will bring pigs in blankets around and there’s plenty of Sunny D in the fridge.  In fact it has to be a giant taint smelling veal pen where unlaid nerds are just staring glassy-eyed at computers and coding for sixteen hours at a stretch.  Or managing people who are coding, figuring out how to extract the most amount of coding out of them for the least amount of money.  And there are no women,  despite, I’m sure, their efforts to bend over backwards to try to recruit as many women as possible to code out of a sense of social justice or whateverthefuck. There are no women for them to hire.  Women aren’t interested in coding.  And it’s because coding sucks.  Women are right not to be interested in coding.  In math, engineering, science, the so-called STEM fields– all those things are fucking excruciating and women are smart to stay the fuck away from them and the flabby Aspergian gnomes who populate those fields.

But if I were a recruiter, I would save a bunch of dough on the ping pong tables and face massages and just hire five decent looking chicks.  Every coder in the world would flock there.
