First day at work – owned by OpenSolaris
Written by Toomas Römer on September 23, 2009 – 12:41 pmTwo years ago a hidden video was made of the authors of this blog, Real Programmers Use Sign Language. In that video we were talking about the internals of JRebel and most of the time we were discussing using our hands. It was filmed by just placing a camera on one of the shelves in the room.
Two years later when a new developer was about to join our ranks it got me thinking. On the morning of his arrival we placed a video camera in one of the laptop bags opened towards him. We inserted an OpenSolaris Live-CD (was not able to get Plan 9 to boot :( ) to his new PC.
The OS was booted in text mode and a user with his name added so that it would feel warm at ~ home. He was placed in a javarebel folder and a VIM sessions had just ended (in text mode you very often see the old contents of the session). The first 5 minutes at the new office follows.
