Apple Computer has a job listing that doesn’t requires coding skills: making sure that those who do have plenty of coffee. The listing is for an “iCup Technician,” making it clear that all job titles at the company begin with a small “i.”
You can almost imagine how the position came about, in order that none of the other workers feel slighted by being asked to make or fetch coffee. But the mention of “Apple iCup Services” hints that it takes an entire team of technicians to supply all the coffee the company needs. The qualifications include the usual customer service skills, time management skills, and multitasking, plus prior experience with coffee machines. I’ll show that to my kids to convince them there is a good reason they should learn how to make my coffee! -via Time
