I'm glad you asked. Consider "Primate Programming Inc". http://www.newtechusa.com/PPI/...

> Does Facebook hire monkeys to do their coding?

Hey, don't insult primates. These guys http://www.newtechusa.com/ppi/talent.asp would be a step up over Facebook's programmers.

Sorry! It was US. http://www.newtechusa.com/ppi/pressroom.asp#higher

Yeah, I've had nothing but trouble from this consulting group.

This parrot can be a good C programmer! Maybe even better than those chimps.

oh great. more outsourcing.

Well, if the chimp was an employee of Primate Programming, Inc., that wouldn't surprise me.

I'm not sure why any of this should be surprising...

Lisp still seems out of reach for the non-human primates though.

Given the proper numbers, chances and time, maybe some primates might move to higher levels of intelligence in 100K years?They already have, and they're taking our jobs!

They are not talking about this company.

See here.

New York Times reporters have been outsourced by 100 chimps with 100 laptops.

Primate Programmers? Taking code monkeys to the next level. :)

First off, let me express how impressed I might be that you can control a mouse with an extra prehensile appendage. The ladies must really dig that kind of dexterity.

The rewards are many.

And, not to throw poop at other AC's but I assumed you ment you'd joined a evolutionaryily stunted criminal organization that enjoyed public masturbation and occasional gay sex. Like the Portland Trail Blazers, or Dallas Cowboys.

Clearly, some simians give others a bad name. It's also a common misconception to think that monkeys are less evolved, somehow, than humans. Granted, the job market has been small, but recent technological advances have widened up our field of expertise.

The dot-com boom made it fashionable to have non-traditional office furnature. An investor no longer bats an eye to see a potted tree or tire-swing. Being a mobile species, laptop and wireless technology also helps, and corespondance through email and IM is the prefered method of communication.

For more information on this trend, this corperation does an excellent job of promoting the use of monkeys in the IT industry.

I thought code monkeys write nmap.

It's all designed for a chimpanzee to use.

Not only that, but probably written by chimps, too: Primate Programming Inc: The Evolution of Java and .NET Training

This company already has a plan.

Because they have to save up in order to hire more programmers.

By that time all programming jobs will be taken by primate programmers
The future is in banana farming.

the rest of us can then get our jobs back.

Nah. They'll just get outsourced somewhere else.

If this new ape will stop being so skittish, there is a company that will hire him. Primate Programming.

Shucks, more of these monkeys means more American jobs lost to outsourcing. Heck, even Indian coders can barely compete with this new programming paradigm (I looked up the dictionary before posting).

Pretty funny Steve.

Apple's tech support sucks. I'm talking golf ball through garden hose.

"You are past the 90 days of free support and even though you are inside your 1 year warranty I'm going to hold $50 on your credit card in case your broken speaker is software related."

The problems start at the top and it sucks all the way down. Most of their "techs" are monkeys, nearly all of them are outsourced (yes, I know).

Oh and my iBook came back from "repair" in worse shape than it went in. Total incompetence.

I know you pulled the "no-BS, almost-no-waiting policy" out of your ass. Speaking from personal experience both as a customer and employee of Apple.

Apple hates its customers but loves their money. Support is as minimal as possible, as difficult as possible, and as incompetent as possible.

Primate Programming... ;-)
