Check for Java, standups, JIRA, snacks, etc.

But only free espresso -- I should forward your comment to my boss, so we get more drink options. :-)

(A Python guy just started and makes predictable noises about rewriting thousands of pages of working code from a scripting language with very similar capabilities... That will probably happen simultaneously with free Coca Cola being introduced.)

[Tomek_]

that scripting language is Perl or PHP?

Perl (sorry for sleeping before answering :-).

I've pointed the Python guy to Moose, "Perl Best Practices", etc. Didn't help. Sigh... It is sad when people don't stop the language wars garbage after turning 20. :-(

At least he didn't argue to replace the toilet paper with bills...

In my anecdotal experience, this seems to be a not totally unusual Python thing. (One True Way, etc.)

(And before someone starts arguing about that it might be motivated with a rewrite in some cases -- they guy is so new, he doesn't know the particulars for that area.)
