Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders
Nude House, a Buckinghamshire computer software and naturist company, is looking for coders who aren't afraid to let a few Cheetos fall where no Cheetos have fallen before. The company would like to become the first all nude tech business. From the article: "Company spokesman Chris Taylor told The Register: 'As far as I am aware this is not only the first UK office job for naturists in web-coding or web-selling, but is also the first worldwide facility for naturists to earn substantial sums of money from work that incidentally provides them with the capability to work entirely without clothes.'"

Um... I can think of a few others. Just sayin'.

No, it's provided.

Some companies will do anything to get a little publicity. Oh look, it worked.
Better known as 318230.
I thought telecommuting had been around for some time.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
A goddamn sausage fest is not a pretty site. Plus given the typical programmer's appearance... oh God help me!
Imagine how the one and only female programmer would feel.
I work from home you insensitive clods!
A job like this is just plan nuts.
Their site: http://nude-house.com
First off their software is lame. Javascript image maps and they are selling that for $2500 no way anyone would buy that in qty.
Also red flags...
Meta description tag: Nude-House combines real houses filled with naked ladies and the clients wanting to photograph, paint, draw and paint upon them. A bit kike a permanent Naked-Office to bond the workers more."
I'm guessing that most female coders are not the kind of person you want to see naked unless you're into greasy butterhogs.
Question, if I get a raging boner around a hot, nude female coworker, does that count as sexual harassment?

How about draping it under the crotch with an elastic band around the waist to hold it up?
As a bonus everybody wouldn't have to look at each others' gonads.
Women are not better at coding.
They aren't worse either. If you work in a place that they have to be better to show they're as good, or one in which they have to be determined in order to stay due to the misogyny, then you work in a backwards place full of cavemen.
In a decent workplace you have women and men of a variety of different skill levels. I know capable female engineers that are just doing it to pay the bills. I know capable male engineers that are biding their time until retirement. I've worked with incompetents of both genders and neither lasted that long.
I'd suggest you go work somewhere that's moved on from a 70s mindset.
That would probably dis-incentivize conferences, making the company even more productive! Freed from the mind-numbing tax of conferences, the company would become an economic powerhouses. Other companies, wanting to copy their success and not realizing that it could be achieved just by eliminating hours of needless daily conferences, would institute the same nude-only policy. Soon, you would not be able to work in IT if you like to wear pants. Oh.. My.. God... This must be stopped!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
Please don't leave shit stains on the office chairs.
No. No it does not.

I didn't get there yet, I still try to get Stallman out of my head.

I wash my hands numerous times through the day, I don't crap on my hands or fling my turds at other people, I don't eat at my desk, and nobody else uses my keyboard.
So yes... yes, my keyboard is more sanitary than a fabric meeting room chair's seat that has had a bunch of hairy, sweaty asses all over it all day, week in and week out, for months.
I've been in the men's room and unfortunately overheard some of the more... explosive... performances put on by coworkers - I'm sure you can imagine. I don't want to sit in ANY chair they've sat in with no clothes on, unless I'm in a level 4 biosafety suit.
Regardless of what they say, naturalists don't do what they do so they can look at other naked people.
They do what they do so other people will look at them.
Anything else they claim is simply a lie, denial, or an attempt to distract you from the truth.
Naturalists do what they do because they want to look at naked animals and learn from it. Anyone claiming anything else is confusing them with naturists.
Naturists do what they do because they don't want to wear clothes, or because they think social hangups about covering up specific body parts are silly.
People who want other people to look at their naked bodies are called exhibitionists. People who want to look at other naked people are voyeurs. Both might pretend to be naturists, but it's not what naturism is about.
It's an easily observable law of nature that the desire to remove one's clothes in public is inversely proportional to one's attractiveness.

Modesty may be silly, but putting coverings on body parts that leak inside stuff isn't a bad idea, especially where resources are common. I don't want to sit on a conference room chair that's had naked people on it any more than I want to use somebody else's unwashed silverware in the lunchroom.
I do hope this company has bidets installed in the washroom.
My God, it's Full of Source!
