Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

File under: What the hell?

We finished a pretty major release and deployment for a new partner, so there was a party this afternoon. At this party, the CEO passed out one of these to each of the 30 or so employees. The concept of eating your own dogfood was stressed, and that makes sense to me. What I don't get, and have quietly asked for clarification, is how a startup can afford 30 x $300 for these things so everyone can have one. Giving expensive gifts like this brings back the specter of the dot-com bubble of the late '90s.

And we know what happened then.

I may very well be over-reacting. It just makes me uncomfortable.
