Working in someone else's business: been there, done that

Wired has a story on a Mac software developer that works out of a coffee

familiar with the tactic, as I'm typing this from a table at my local
Chipotle, where I can be seen most days that I'm writing.

Delicious Monster's cataloging software is a big hit, but the company works
out of a coffee house. Not only is it cheap, but the collegiate atmosphere
is an inspiration for turning obsessive catalogers into personal lending
libraries. Leander Kahney reports from San Francisco.
