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.'"

          The terms you're groping for are whore, prostitute, call-girl, escort, and courtesan. Each level up level are generally more attractive, more discrete, and cost more. If you're looking to spend $5, you're at the whore level (i.e., $5 crack whore). Around $100 (depending on your menu selection) you'd be on the prostitute level. When you get up to escort, prepare to spend hundreds per hour. And if you're even considering the courtesan level, you'd better have references (other clients, and/or courtesans), and money to burn. Depending on the courtesan, you could spend thousands per hour (if they even do the hourly thing) to tens of thousands for just a weekend.

          Inverse to the payment level is the number of clients they service. A "high class escort" may only have a dozen or so customers that they service per year, as they usually demand (and receive) repeat business. A courtesan may have a much smaller client base, but they find themselves well off, and frequently travel a lot with their customers. At that level, their customers frequently have them travel on business trips with them, to make the "right" impression that not only is the business man successful, but he has a beautiful girlfriend with him, despite the fact that when the trip is over, he may not see her again until the next time he needs to make the same appearance.

          And yes, you're right. There are plenty of levels of coders. We're all whores. We render a service for the client who's willing to pay the right price. Remember that next time you get your paycheck, and when your "boss" tells you that he needs something you really don't want to do. But I sir, am an IT courtesan. I'm paid very well, and my client base is very small and select.

      Serious? Seriousness is well above my pay grade.

    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 am firmly against the naturist de-sexualization. Many women are too hot for this to be allowed. It would be like making your favorite ice cream taste like dog shit just because you think its wrong to like good ice cream. Im for the sexualization of the human body, and the removal of idiotic moral hang ups about it.

      That brings me to an interesting point, / . is just "the ramblings of socially-inept, technology-literate news-mongers".

      Seriously though, part of the point of naturism is to demystify the human body and de-sexualize nudity.

      Given that the guy specifically wants to hire female coders, I have my doubts about his motivations in this case.
