The week before it had been a buzzing vibrant exciting place. They were using something “new” called XP, extreme programming where you put two programmers side by side for an hour or two and then keep switching the combinations throughout the day.
There were unlimited free snacks and a free wheeling fun atmosphere. A really exciting place.
That day when i turned up, the doors were locked and the building was empty.
I rang up my boss to say the client was shut today. We found out after that their funding had been withdrawn and they’d shut without notice.
