Hire dairy farmers to get the milk for your coffee - absolute insight into how it's produced. Also they got to raise cows from calves so no milk in the office for a while. But once you get it you can be sure it's organic !
That's not even going into the dev market situation right now ...
I mean seriously have you people ever been near a situation where these kind of decisions are made ?
What competitive advantage do you get from having dairy farmers on staff?
Compared to the competitive advantage of having a software developer on staff?
Do you actually do professional software development ? Even huge tech companies fail development projects spectacularly, non-tech companies trying to develop business critical software when superior alternative is available at reasonable prices ? You'd have a self inflicted competitive disadvantage. With first you might have a recruiting gimmick.
