News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Seems like not much coding happens in America... /snark

Seriously though, the author goes into more detail about his coffee than his job. I assume the purpose of a post like this is to publicize and advertise for CfA, but it doesn't really tell me much about either the org or the work.

The problem is this is hacker news, and that post looks like it was intended for a more general audience. Thanks for providing those links, and maybe this is something you should look into: giving off a better impression on the web to fellow open source devs, persuade us to help out. /2c.

A disclaimer of - no code was hurt in the production of this article would of been nice.

That all said nice read and more so from a time managment perspective. Come in - do email - that in itself is a good way to warm up for the day and when you see that the real work gets done after lunch, like so many others then you appreciete coffee even more :).

I will say I was somewhat disapointed that no tie-tuseday pictures were included and can't help feel that they were pushed back for the chance of a free coffee down the line, but hey, priorities so fair play.

This post makes me really appreciate that I have sane working hours and don't live in a big city.
