If you actually read the article, what we send back is just IOUs or funny money. It's irrelevant what we send back actually, because the goal could be deindustrialization of other countries. The actual goods created are just the side e

I was at Accenture Digital, now rebranded as Accenture Song, when Hertz was a client in our office. Most projects had the same issues. I was hired as a developer to work on the front-end of a very ambitious app for one of the biggest oil co

Your impression comes from the fact that you have not worked at larger teams, as you said so yourself. It's relatively easy to build something scalable from the beginning if you know what you need to build and if you are not already ha

Well then, it sounds like you need to put your phone down or at least don't open Slack, knowing well what would happen if you do. The onus is on you to disconnect from work, not to ensure everyone else conforms to your schedule.

I completely agree with you, and I've yet to see a compelling argument against this. I've been doing this since the rise of the SPA, all the way from vanilla, jQuery, Backbone, Angular 1.0, Ember and React and after reading your c
