    Except, 37signals articles are clearly not statements of facts. If they were, your point would be awesome. But they are clearly opinion. "Resumes are dumb" != "The earth revolves around the sun"

    It's funny, because a lot of people, esp in the Agile community emphasize the necessities of having people work together not only in an office, but in a wide open space. Personally I find it rather frustrating as the noise sucks and sometim

    I did what you are doing for 3 years or so in the beginning. Nothing particularly wrong with it. The only reason I'd switch to using Version Control if I were you is that managing the file copies and different directories with features you
