Great. But we live in reality where lots of teams are not well functioning some or all of the time, and we still need to get things done even when we don't have the time, resources or influence to fix the team composition then and there.

EDIT: I'd also argue that in most well functioning team few decisions needs to be taken by the team, because the team members know their role well enough and trusts the others to do the same that everyone is empowered to take decisions. Unfortunately again, we live in the real world where decision making is often needed exactly because a lot of the time there are team members we can't let run rampant and make their own decisions. Or have too much influence.

I can't think of a way to keep privacy technologically without sacrificing the modern conveniences I very much appreciate. Uber in particular has dramatically improved my lifestyle. Google Maps as well.

Experiments like justin.tv show one solution to the problem. Justin Kan, during those 8 months he broadcast his life, would not have feared a secret wiretap.

> So make the sidewalks wider.

To be fair, almost all of that mass of people is found on Wall/Broad Streets right near the NYSE, Federal Hall, Trinity Church. All of the relevant part of Wall/Broad was shut to vehicles after 9/11. The entire width of the street from sidewalk to sidewalk is essentially one big sidewalk.

> Sounds like they need separated bike lanes then.

The city does have them, in the modern avenues and streets where they could take back a lane and install them. On the avenues, they're even separated from traffic by a parking lane. The issue is that in the oldest parts of the city (FiDi area) dating back to the 17/18th centuries, you can't just will the buildings to move and make wider streets.

=======================

Many years of experience in developing softwares, designing database and designing system architecture. Beside typical software development I am also a blogger(http://blog.adnansiddiqi.me) and often write about various topics related to programming, SEO and performance. I can help you to convert an idea to a product, covering all cycles. Even I can help to produce an idea by doing market research.

In short, I love to accept challenges and wearing multiple hats.
I've hated AV products for decades for being intrusive, cumbersome, slow and often nagware. Thanks to this post, I can now add "insecure" to my list of reasons.

But I'm commenting to ask you to expand on

Why Schools Don't Educate
Lower Manhattan is the historical city center. You can't simply "make it wider" any more than you can make historic Rome or historic Paris "wider". Even if you make lower Manahattan pedestrian only, that won't fix the congestion problem because New Yorkers already regularly walk on the roads when there isn't enough room on the sidewalks. In other words, the sidewalks are already "wider".

This is also why adding dedicated bike lanes is tricky. Bikes are avoiding pedestrians on the road/bike lanes, not other cars.
While this sounds good in theory (and I've been in teams that were very self-organizing and operated well without a formal tech lead), I feel that it omits some key aspects of real life. Let's look at the list towards the end, for example:

- When there are newcomers, we need a strong coach.

- When there are architectural challenges, we need an experienced architect.

- When there are internal conflicts, we need a mediator.

- When there are external blockers or lack of resources, we need a concierge.

- When we need to negotiate and integrate with other teams, we need a ambassador.

Ok, so the author marked those under "leadership". My experience with other developers is that there is a surprisingly large dev population who would absolutely abhorred if they had to touch any of those things (maybe apart from the architecture part). And in my experience, the effect doesn't grow smaller, and might even become more profound, with prolific devs who have tens of years of experience; they want to code because coding is what they love (this of course applies to more junior devs too).

So the point is not to elevate one individual to some golden standard know-and-do-it-all aka Tech Lead. The whole point, which the article actually does touch, is to have different roles between team members, so that ideally everyone can focus on the things they are passionate about. If more than one people feel that they want to take responsibility with the things mentioned in the above list, fine, the team can have many "tech leads".

Just make sure that if you omit the whole role that people are not burdened with responsibilities they are going to hate. Because that is something that can destroy even a good team pretty well.

No, but also yes.
One one side: yes.

And BTW - this has nothing to do with defense industry, it's just 99% of business is like this.

Business could do a lot more to make a more fun environment.

On the other hand ...

Google is a 'de-facto' monopoly, and they print money. They are super, super rich, and literally have billions more than they know what to do with.

So it's easy to justify a lot of extra expenses. And these things can be expensive.

Lastly - let's not be so naive. Much of the reason many of these things are offered is so that you 'never have to leave the office'. 'Free lunch' was a cold, hard, Google style calculation: the time it took to 'drive to resto and back' was wasted time, it was cheaper to give people food than have them waste this time.

Years ago, my friend interviewed at Google, and they lauded all the 'free clothes' that you could take, which were often used 'the next day' as employees 'stayed the night'. Sleeping over at the office was a relatively common practice, and as such, there's going to arguably be some pressure to work insane hours. Which is completely against the law. We lambast conditions in factories in China, and just because Google workers earn a bit more does not mean that the practice is any less problematic, when the vast majority of the surpluses are going to 'the factory owners'.
You also probably don't need to worry about competition from SK programmers.

and writes a lot about it on their blog:

Of course those are going in the other direction, not generating the classification from the data, but it's probably one of the best data sets as far as classifying existing music.

I would add a "tweet" link, and a link to instapaper myself.
I would say a great reason to have a tech leader is to share the role of PM between the BA and the tech lead. This role can be rotated as far as I'm concerned. A lot of companies I see have far too many PMs overseeing too few projects.

Every team has a tech lead (or a most senior dev, or architect, or whatever) whether they formally assign one or not. Titles are nonense but so is the idea that roles don't exist.

Regardless of the title (or lack of title) of the person, there will always be a person or a small subset of people that make technical judgements, communictate with management and so on.

I completely agree with the article that coaching, architecture etc. are different tasks and should ideally be different people. The reality though seem to be that it's usually just many hats for one or very few people .

You can get "1 in 10000" significance without 10000 people. (How many Tails in a row would you need to flip a coin to believe it's not random at that level? Somewhere between 13 and 20?)

It seems like it would be easier to write in a language that does have the safety needed and then compiling to javascript. scala.js comes to mind.
There's no protection - the people who have to sign off on it are both from the ruling party.

"Saying the perks are some underhanded strategy to keep people around hugely insults the intelligence of the people working here or at any other office for that matter."

I believe that the original motivation for offering free lunch was a calculation WRT how much time people 'wasted' driving to and fro a restaurant, and how much Google could/save profit by having the perks.

I do not believe Google is entirely nefarious with this culture and perks etc. - but please do not be so naive - it's a corporation, just like any other. Nearly everything they do - even internal practice - is oriented towards profit.

>it's basically a form of fraud to cheat in those circumstances.

Yes, and there are already anti-fraud laws to handle this case. The law sounds more like a PR stunt to promote SK as the "e-sports capital" of the world.

I don't see any reason whatsoever why breaking a private agreement between you and a company should be criminally punishable. There's contract law that handles these kinds of things - and no one needs to go to prison there.
As far as I know, most templating frameworks (php or otherwise) don't really solve this either.

PHP's native templating is perhaps prone to more issues in this area, but template frameworks (for the most part) still allow you shoot yourself in the foot with data contained in strings.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (GMT+2)

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, NodeJS and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at http://ifdattic.com

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

* optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
* custom applications for improving work flows (document
submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)
* teaching students how to create web applications
* set up coding standards, testing practices,
development environment, fix security vulnerabilities,
document inner workings of an application
* implement CAS authentication for Single Sign On (SSO)
* implement direct file upload to AWS S3
* implement secure file download from AWS S3
* profile and optimize performance

For HPHT, there are three primary machine designs, but they all create intense heat and pressure, and dissolved graphite slowly builds up on a diamond seed (<1mm).

1. BARS press. It is a Russian design from the 1980s capable of up to 2-3 carat polished sizes, and was one of the first methods to commercially grow jewelry-grade diamonds. It is much less efficient than modern presses though.

2. Cubic press. This is a much larger 3-axis press used primarily in China to spontaneously grow diamond grit and powder. Some of these have been converted and upgraded to run longer cycles needed for large single crystals. These can grow multiple diamonds at a time or fewer larger diamonds, and have been used to grow the largest diamonds currently available (5-10 carat), however success rates and control within the larger growth cell are still low. We are in the process of developing our own modern cubic press (rather than a refurbished grit press).

3. Single axis. This our own in-house design. It has similar growth capabilities as a BARS press, but is much more efficient with greater control and can grow multiple diamonds simultaneously. For qualified parties, we can sell these presses as well as license the IP and diamond growth "recipes".

CVD reactors are basically a vacuum chamber with plasma over a growth surface. That surface holds diamond plates, which are just thin slices of diamond, and usually come from larger CVD or HPHT single-crystal diamonds. Methane provides a carbon source, which is broken up into its elemental components by the plasma. The carbon "rains" down onto the diamond seed plates and basically grows straight up, so the finished dimensions are limited by the starting length and width of the seed plate. Some CVD reactors use microwaves to assist while others do not. There are a few companies that sell complete CVD reactor systems, but no one I am aware of that offers IP or "recipes", so those would have to be developed on your own.

TLDR - I should have just written a blog about it. I use Angular a fair amount. I don't think it's any worse than your other UI application options. It certainly isn't great, but I wouldn't call it terrible.

I've read through a lot of comments here, and I've also spent many an hour struggling to understand why my application isn't working, both in Angular2 and Angular(1)JS. I wrote a reasonably well-received, and now slightly outdated blog on using Angular2 with docker-compose (that's right, I'm all up on the hip tech).

My least favorite part about writing an application in Angular2 is the rate of change in the framework itself. It can call itself stable, but is it really? Hard to say, since it's only been "stable" for a small number of weeks.

As others have touched on, however, this is not a problem peculiar to Angular - it's more a broader javascript phenomenon. Everybody in the JS world is bumping versions like their lives depend on it. And it's not without its benefits either:

At Angular2-RC1 I tried and failed to use the `ngc` tool for production builds with tree-shaking and minification. Suddenly, when I updated to RC-6, that process began to work. How exciting! This turned out to be mostly for nought, because today angular-cli (ng) takes care of most of this for you. The cli itself is still "beta" (some would argue that so is the framework, if not in name), but it can generate much of the necessary typescript boilerplate, and it does passable builds for dev and production with a single command. All this has happened in the span of about 4 months, so the rate of change has in this case brought welcome improvements. Source maps are generated as well, and error messages are helpful for the most part.

I have not used React, so I cannot make that comparison. Angular has many quirks (and problems!), but with angular-cli the learning curve for building and running gets a lot lower. The biggest issue is that the user-base is divided among those who are still using SystemJS, or using Webpack directly (ng uses Webpack under the hood now), and the the rate of change prevents documentation from keeping up. Also, yes it's very slow (angular-cli, not angular itself). It has a million dependencies. But my front-end application is actually organized, and significantly more readable in my opinion than any Angular 1 app ever was.

I can't go back to jQuery for DOM manipulation - 2-way binding is like crack to me. And Observable streams make it even better. As ever, I like it well enough, and everyone else is free to have another opinion.
I think getting rid of cars isn't going to fix the problems the people in this article are complaining about. It's the age old problem that plague all popular cities around the world: tourists versus residents. And having visited places like Florence, Paris and Barcelona, I'd rather see the residents get their way.
Not using the exact phrase isn't the same as not invoking the concept. Disingenuousness benefits no one, especially when it's obvious.

You convinced me generally, I can't agree with this only:

> Dollar ($) as prefix to variable names is actually quite good. You know instinctively what is a user created variable and not a language keyword. Easy to find variables when scanning large chunks of code and easy to use with string replacement to avoid string concatenation or sprintf.

Dollar prefix is hard to type with many keyboard layouts. You can also get the same effect with let/var/def/whatever and without the useless repetition. Also, any text editor with minimal support for your syntax would be able to highlight the definition/usages. The theoretical Utopian syntax would perhaps also allow $ in template strings. Further,

$foo;

is a bit ambiguous because in a REPL, it would output foo, error if foo is not defined; in source code, it would define foo, no-op if already defined. While `def foo;` would only be valid if foo isn't defined and that'd be creating the variable. foo, by itself, would have a consistent meaning.
