A couple of weeks ago, I was drinking beer in San Francisco with friends where someone remarked:
“You have too many hipsters, you won’t scale like that. Hire some fat guys who know C++.”
It’s funny but it got me thinking. Who are these “fat guys who know C++”, or as another friend put it, “the guys with neckbeards, who keep Google’s servers running”? And why is it that when you meet one, it’s like pulling on a thread, and they all seem to know each other?
