The guy with the laptop in the tub is making me uncomfortable on several levels.
Is it something like an alert? "That's what is going to happen if you come to work here"

#82Looks pretty cool! As someone who already has housing in SF, do you ever open up the Wednesday dinners to non-surfers, or have any other open events?

#83Any plans on making this international? Otherwise, may I suggest the following as a domain instead: hackersurfing.co.us or something along those lines.

#84The WeFunder guys are awesome, super nice people!

#85Cool, commendable effort. One frustration I have is the (possibly soft) requirement for showing your work ala github profile or something else. I've noticed quite a few job postings where they ask you for a github profile. All my code belongs to my employer and I can't put stuff up on github. Not sure how people who are in this stupid situation deal with the new reality that github is your resume these days?
That's totally fine. In fact, my GitHub account is in a similar boat: most of my work is in private repos.

I think it is. Most good people I interviewed so far had something on there from pet projects. I wouldn't expect that code to be brilliant, but just the fact that they know how to use git, maybe even react to issues / PRs is a good start.
I personally have a lot of small cruft on mine (old blog migration scripts), a commandline video downloader that has a few issues, ...
None of that code was done on company time, but most people I know and like to work with find a few hours on a Saturday from time to time to just hack up something.

That has to be a planned/posed image. There's no way one could focus so intently while hot water bubbles around you..

Indeed. Water is quite conductive. Hope the photo shoot had the guy carefully hold the laptop above the water in a somehat dangerous stunt.
