Is there anyone in the universe voluntarily quitting their job at Google to go to work at In and Out Burger? No? So in what sense is it a better place to work? Clearly not empirically.

If pay weren’t a consideration I would have been working at a coffee shop years ago.

I love working with a complicated temperamental machine and cranky demanding sometimes charming people.

Which is why I went with my 2nd choice: programming

My understanding is that it's just based on employee satisfaction with their workplace. The implication is that In-N-Out Burger might be a better place to work relative to other options for its employees than Google is relative to other options for its employees.

I bet lots would if the pay was the same.

God, if pay for all jobs were equal I'm not sure software development would even make my top 100 list of jobs I'd like to do.
