So far people have been saying that consultant should focus on solving business problems and not the technology aspect of the work so I'm quite surprised that DockYard made a bet on EmberJS (and Rails before that).
Can anyone explain why people would hire a shop with specific but general tech like EmberJS or Rails? (Rails make more sense a bit since it encompass the whole web-app but EmberJS is just for front-end). I can understand if the company specialized in Enterprise software like SAP, Oracle, SharePoint but less on Rails/Django/front-end-framework.
- bcardarella 13y agoWe can say that we offer true expertise if we specialize. I don't think that small shops should be tech agnostic, they should pick a tech area and really try to kick ass in it. After a certain amount of growth there begin to be a lot of opportunities outside of your tech niche that might get you to start thinking about adopting other competencies. For example, we have been getting a few contracts for iPhone development. This might be something we decide to add.
