Sorry man, to get us you're going to have to talk about vegetables

Actually I'm going to be giving a short talk on BDD story/feature
writing + Cucumber + RSpec + Celerity at my next local monthly mini-
conference/geek beer-swilling night*. To the best of my limited
ability anyway.
That's got TWO vegetables in it. Do I get bonus recruitment points???
Why not? I've been asked to submit code before job interviews and even
pair during them. Taught me as much about potential employers as it
did them about me.
When I wrote it, I knew it might be just crazy enough to work...
I think a day spent story writing with a customer in the morning, and
pairing in the afternoon, could give a very good indication of how
well someone will work. But I bet it'd be very stressful for the
candidates.
I'd stick to the previously established theme here - "we tend to drink
a nice dark Tanzania coffee here, but if you tend towards Sumatra
instead, that's OK. Just no Starbucks on the premises, please."
Hmmm, I suspect I may have to upgrade from Tesco decaf to stand any
chance of hiring a developer...
