I disagree. I find these types of cutesy “culture” things very infantilizing and belittling. I don’t do my job for a fruit basket. If I have a blind spot in testing or bug finding because of my perspective as a developer, then my goal is to improve that skill for myself, because I am a professional and it matters for delivering a product to customers or stakeholders.
If anything, events like this just make me question management and think, “these people have no idea what they’re doing... they want to satisfy some ego drive to be praised as inventive leaders by making shit up instead of just choosing the boring, well-known kinds of solutions.”
