Hanselminutes on 9 - Rob Conery and the MVC Storefront

I was hanging out in New York yesterday, presenting at Devscovery and I took a few minutes to stop by Fog Creek, have lunch with Joel (did you know they always eat together as a team and have lunch catered every day?) and get a tour. Fog Creek is known for their snazzy offices and attention to detail. How can you be a great developer and make great software without a nice monitor, comfy chair and the world's most awesome desk. Joel takes me around, shows me their salt water fish tank, amazing view and how it IS possible to have a great office without breaking the bank.
It's definitely my excuse when I don't get any work done What's the standard setup in Denmark?
(should be a reply to root, sigh.)
Looks awesome. The desks are a bit much, though. Do they have vertically adjusting desks because people want to alternate between standing or sitting a lot, or do people alternate between standing and sitting a lot because they have a vertically adjusting desk?
I've never had to work in a cubicle. While I guess the privacy would be welcome, occasionally, I like the openness of just a bunch of desks in a room.
That office is nice! Dual BIG monitors, moving desks and fish tanks for the win! As cool as that stuff is, where's the helicopter ride footage?
