The author seems to confuse attacking football with an open style of play. Often, attacking football involves as much co-ordinated movement as a more defensive style of play, which can be as exhilarating to watch if not more so. It is also

IMHO, I don't find the statement very far from truth. Most of the online book stores today are recommending similar books through one algorithm or another. I have not yet seen any good implementation of a system that suggests unconnect

I am not sure how much of actual "work" is going to vanish. My premise is that "work" is going to be relocated but not eliminated. Moving to cloud is not as easy as drag and drop. Netflix had to do plenty of re-work (and
