Dear Google: Learn how to party
May 15th, 2007Dear Google:
I know you worked hard at your JavaOne party this year, but did you just copy Simula’s (aka devzzzzz) party from last year? You’re on top of the world - I expect more than bad beer and wine over the course of a few hours which you’ve paid 10x too much for! How will you attract your developers unless you flaunt your incredible chefs or tell us how awesome the 20% time is? The one thing that the party might have had going for it was exclusivity, but even then it was screwed up - you gave out invitations to anyone who asked. How are you going to keep the uncool people out?
Sadly, you are just a poor man’s Tangosol. They managed to get bought by Oracle and still have a party where someone can get a RedBull & Vodka. Where does that leave you?
Regards,
- Dan

Well, it was exclusive enough, none of the JBoss guys were let in. Well, we did manage to sneek in through the back door and crash the party. At first I thought this was one of Google’s employment puzzles. If you could figure out to sneak in, you had the job. Nope, it really was more of, they didn’t want a bunch of drunks crashing their party.
