None of which addresses my point. I'm not talking about innovation in the small, where a dev comes up with a clever new bit of user experience or a snazzy new algorithm. That stuff is nice but it's incremental. I'm talking strategic innovation, the stuff that makes or breaks big companies like IBM when they're struggling to compete in 2017. I would never claim there aren't advantages to co-located engineers. But I struggle to believe that one of those advantages is big picture innovation as implied by the article.
