The importance of eating together with your co-workers is not negotiable, to me. It’s too important to be left to chance.

Lunch - Joel on Software

At every company I’ve worked at in NYC the default method of lunch is to take it back to your desk and eat while reading some blog (or reading said blogs on iPhones while out at some restaurant.)  It’s isolating and awful. Since then I’ve made it a personal policy to never eat at my desk. I love the idea of having a large, assigned communal eating area, especially for internet companies. We spend enough time as it is isolated from one another in a virtual environment, eating lunch remains one of the last forms of regular face to face contact.

I live in New York and work on Views.fm.

This blog rarely has to do with either of those things.
